Steve Ditko (1927-2018) began his comics career in the anthologies of the 1950s, where his unique style and perspective quickly earned recognition and respect. Recruited to join Stan Lee's Atlas Comics, later Marvel, in 1958, his nuances contrasted well with Jack Kirby's bombast. In 1962, in the pages of Amazing Fantasy, Ditko and Lee brought to life Peter Parker, the Amazing Spider-Man, changing the industry forever. The pair's other iconic co-creation, Doctor Strange, debuted in Strange Tales. Ditko returned to Marvel during the late 1970s and remained for much of the 1980s -- co-creating Speedball, Squirrel Girl and other characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback | \u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 432 | \u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2026-08-04\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marvel Universe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48276548747490,"sku":"9781302966928","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/0005\/1501\/files\/9781302966928.jpg?v=1787902040"},{"product_id":"9781302966911","title":"ROM Epic Collection: The Original Marvel Years Vol. 4","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bill Mantlo began his Marvel career on Deadly Hands of Kung Fu, in which he introduced White Tiger, one of the industry's earliest Hispanic super heroes.
