Dr. Strange as drawn by Steve Ditko
Nov. 2 is the 89th birthday of artist Steve Ditko, one of the “founding fathers” of the Marvel Comics universe. His co-creation, Spider-Man, is the leading character in that universe.
He’s more than that, of course. Ditko produced stories for other publishers and created other characters.
His birthday this year takes place the same week that the Dr. Strange movie, based on the Ditko-created character, comes out in the United States.
Ditko doesn’t do interviews. There are very few photographs of him. He’s the opposite of the outgoing Stan Lee, who makes a cameo in all movies based on Marvel characters.
To his many fans, however, Ditko is unique. The Dr. Strange movie wouldn’t have been possible without his unique vision. So, happy birthday Mr. D.
