Steve Ditko’s Eternal Relevance: ‘In Principle: The Unchecked Premise’
Big Hollywood ^ | 08/27/09 | Batton Lash

Steve Ditko is one of the most innovative and influential comic book artists of all time. He co-created “The Amazing Spider-Man” (Ditko’s original and imaginative design for that character is an icon known world-wide) and worked on such well-known characters as The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man. His creative contributions to those characters during their early years helped secure their longevity and appeal over the decades.

Originally included in the graphic novel, “Steve Ditko’s Static,” published by Robin Snyder and Steve Ditko in 1988, “In Principle” is chillingly more relevant today than it was when it was originally published.

As a conservative comic book fan, I just love Steve Ditko — he’s a classic, a great artist, and a moral thinker.

Thanks for this.

Ditko was always one of my favorites, and this one nails it.

Ditko is the man! I just finished reading a collection of his Mr. A stories - great stuff.

Ditko catches a lot of crap from lefty comic book creators for his adherence to Rand and objectivism.

Thanks for the ping! What could be more awesome than Ditko + Conservatism?

In general, I’ve never been crazy about Ditko’s style, except that I think his unique look served Doctor Strange extremely well.
