A true genius of the visual medium. Thanks for the post!

As mysterious and intriguing an individual as any comics character.

When I first read a compilation of the earliest Spider-Man stories, I reacted somewhat negatively to Ditko's artwork, having been raised on Buscema/Romita/Byrne art with the impossibly large pecs, shoulders, etc. Ditko's characters looked skinny, for lack of a better term, but I quickly grew to appreciate the difference and value Ditko's idiosyncratic style.

One can only imagine his reaction to the bombastic Stan Lee - what a contrast between the two.

An unacceptably chunky Spidey for today's NYC.

The artist seems to live his entire life by a rigorous code, much of it shaded by Objectivism, which posits that “productive achievement [is man’s] noblest activity and reason his only absolute.”

I like this guy.

From the Article: Yoe adds. “He’s allowed to be quirky — this is America.”

...I wonder how true that is. And how true it will be.
