"Face front, true believer! In 1962, in the last issue of a cancelled series, artist Steve Ditko teamed with writer Stan Lee to create a super hero unlike any other. Instead of a remote arctic headquarters or a secret underground cave, he lived with his elderly aunt in Queens, New York. He battled problems fo money, school and family as often as he fought super-villains. This new hero was Spider-Man - and guided by Lee and Ditko, he quickly became Marvel Comics' most popular chraacter. During the next four years, Ditko helped create such memorable villains as Doctor Octopus, the Lizard, the Vulture and dozens more classic Spidey foes. In sharp contrast to Spider-Man's grounded realism, Ditko also created Doctor Strange - a hero whose mystical battle sagainst bizarre, otherworldly threats showcased the artist's limitless creativity. Alongside Lee and Jack Kirby, Ditko's contributions played an integral part in laying the groundwork for the modern day Marvel Comics." -- Page [4] of cover.
