There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

That's one of the things that's made Ditko a mixed bag for me.
I love so much of his marvel work, but then I read some of the stuff he put into Mr. A down the line and it's just...
Yikes, my dude. Yikes.
There's no doubting his impact on comics, regardless, and we all owe him a great debt.

I knew that it was coming, though I thought he might actually outlive Stan.
Along with William Marston, Ditko can lay claim to being one of the first creators to engage with philosophical issues in the medium. Whether one likes or dislikes his philosophical stance is irrelevant.
I wonder what the super-Marxist critics will have to say about his legacy.
One of the greatest comic book artists ever. Right up there with Kirby and the others. Prayers of peace for his family and friends.
“Now faith, hope, and love remain, and the greatest of these is love.”--1 Corinthians 13:13
“You had a dream; I have a plan”--Cyclops
“There's no point in being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes.”--The Doctor
As someone very far to the left, I have nothing but positive things to say about his legacy. Spider-Man changed the game. I would be willing to bet that none of us would be here if it weren't for Spider-Man. Regardless if you're a fan of the character or not, his creation changed what people expected from comics. Fantastic Four was small, welcome alteration from what was happening at the time, while Spider-Man was a radical shift. If he just created Spider-Man his legacy would be secure, but then he decided to create Doctor Strange too. While not as commercially successful, I would say, one of the true masterpieces of the silver age. Then he spent time creating characters that would be the template and muses for possibly the greatest and most successful comic book story of all time (Watchmen). Not only was he a strong creator, he was an influence that is nearly unparalleled.
Had we met, we would have vehemently disagreed on politics. But, I wouldn't have missed the opportunity to shake the man who may helped save my life as a teenager.
So now you don't have to wonder anymore.
Tab Hunter passes away.
I just recently watched his guest appearance on "McMillan & Wife".
