The
Comics Partnership that Ended Over a Philosophical Dispute!
Nearly everyone's heard
of Spider-Man these days--created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko over 40 years
ago (!)-- but ever wonder what happened to Steve Ditko? Why did he leave
so abruptly after issue #38--just when SPIDER-MAN
was becoming Marvel's best-selling comic?
Steve Ditko was and is
an Objectivist. When writer Stan Lee decided to unmask arch-villain
Green Goblin, he wanted it to be someone significant
in Spidey's life. Artist Steve Ditko disagreed: He wanted the
Goblin to be a nobody--because he wanted to show that anyone could have
been the villain. But writer Lee was also Editor-in-Chief Lee, so
he got his way. And Steve Ditko just quit and walked away, never
looking back. |
