Spider-Man's web of stories began far before the first drawing of
nerdy teenager Peter Parker. They started with Steve Ditko, a kid
who loved comics so much that he would brave blizzards to get new
issues. Steve was strange--he was introverted, his art was shadowy,
and his characters didn't fit the mold of handsome heroes like
those crafted by Marvel legends Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. But it's
not so strange that the traits that made Steve different were what
made his characters stand out. Swing into the life of Steve Ditko
and discover how he transformed a brawny, super-powered Spiderman
into the perpetually awkward teenager who we know and love:
Spider-Man, a character who relies on his inner strength more than
super strength, who got his powers not through magic but through
the bite of a radioactive spider... This biography takes the mask
off the famously reclusive artist and shares the story of how his
wall-crawling hero became a friendly neighborhood icon.
