STEVE DITKO
 THE ARTIST


This section features articles that better illustrate Steve Ditko as the Artist. He is well known for his very socio-political views and this section hopes to enhance the understanding of his work. Steve Ditko's personal life is his own, however. You MAY get a better understanding of the man from what is below, but the focus is on his work. If you have anything to contribute, feel free to E-MAIL ME. Articles you transcribe will be placed here and you will receive full credit in the CREDITS section.
