Lovely tribute. Ditko's Spidey remains the definitive look for the character after all these years. It was the first I encountered back in the day and the one my brain flips to when I hear "Spider-Man" mentioned in a random context.
ya know, i really should reflect on Ditko's career more in it's entirety instead of just the narrow perspective of his awful work on the ROM spaceknight series along with other things he worked on in the 80s and early 90s but i just can't seem to.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

Nicely done... he will be greatly missed... a very nice "tribute"

a fine tribute!
I liked his ROM stuff. He took that series to the end and that was a very high profile GET at the time.
