captain_slinkyRecently, a lot of Steve Ditko's *original* scripted artwork for early issues of Spider-Man have been released. See, back in The Day, Stan "The Man" would just come up with an idea (like "This issue, we'll havce Spidey battle a guy who calls himself Doctor Octopus"), then leave the actual creation of the comic book (artwork, script, and dialogue) to others. Hey, give the guy some slack... he was writing like 60 different comics every week!
Anyway.
Steve Ditko was (and still is to this very day) a very ODD person. It was dialogue like THIS (CLICK AND READ) from Amazing Spider Man #14, page 7, written and drawn by Mr. Ditko, that made Stan Lee go back, re-write, and personally shape each and every Marvel Character. It unfortunately also cuased a rift between Stan and Steve that remains a sore spot (with Mr. Ditko, at least) to this very day.
Thank goodness Stan intervened! Otherwise, the Spider-Man we've all come to know and love could have ended up being a fecal-centric bit of reading material!
