Steve "Fuck Kirby" Ditko

Comics were never good.

They were good when the editors were plentiful and took their jobs seriously.

"Fucking communists, they ruin everything!"

He would of hated it.

Remember this is a man who wanted Spider-Man to end with issue #50 back and have it explained to readers that his powers were only ever meant to be temporary (something hinted at in early issues such as #11 and 12 and 1st Annual) with Peter Parker tossing his costume into bin and walking away, wishing he was able to of done more with his powers when he had chance.

It'snow well known fact part of reason behind he wanted it to end Amazing Spider man run was because he hated how commercialize the whole thing had became with cartoons and lunch boxes and coloring in books.

Wasn't the guy some sort of Randroid shut-in with an insane black and white view of morality?

He HATED the comic book industry even in his own day.

So 12 months out from what he conceived to be Spider man final issue he arranged meeting with Stan Lee to discuss how he wanted to end series only with Stan Lee to tell him no, that's not going to happen and that series would continue with him or without him.

Steve Dikto enraged by this, thinking that series couldn't continue without him, got into rage and threw Stan Lee favorite typewriter out of his office window but not before tearing ribbons out and throwing them at him and his secretary, giving her black eye.

Ironically the man who created Marvel greatest Super hero ended up being led out of their building in handcuffs only to return decades later. His last issue of Amazing Spider-Man would be issue #38 (with unaccredited touches by Gil Kane).
