My passion for Ditko is no secret at all...saddened to see of his
passing. Although I knew he was near 90, it never “felt” he was that
old...his continued work even up to his death was still entertaining, and
I’ve been enjoying his recent releases. In a world with increasing areas
of grey, his compass never wavered, and whether you agree with his
philosophies or not, that’s impressive.

Truly one of the greats of comics, one of the three pillars upon which Marvel was built. Those tales that he and Stan told in Amazing Spider-Man are endlessly enjoyable, timeless and effortlessly readable, and the list of memorable and well-known characters Ditko helped birth is long indeed.

Farewell, Mr Ditko, and thanks for all the ideas and great art.

++++++++++

Some years ago, I was given a few issues of CHUCK NORRIS KARATE KOMMANDOS that he drew.

I also just read that he drew a vintage TRANSFORMERS coloring book. Looking at online scans of the book, I can tell that it's definitely his work.
