Steve Ditko Dead at 90 :(
Legendary comic book artist Steve Ditko- co-creator of Spider-Man and Doctor Strange- was found dead in his home in New York City at the age of 90.
Nobody had heard from him in 2 days, but his death is not being considered suspicious at this time due to his age.
Ditko and Lee worked together to create Spider-Man in 1962 and Doctor Strange in 1963. Heavily influenced by psychotropic drugs, Ditko's influence on Strange made it what it was.
Ditko was famously reclusive, having retreated from public life several decades ago and earning the nickname the "J.D. Sallinger of comics."
What an absolutely massive bummer.
