A great biography of one of the true masters of the comic book art form; Steve Ditko.
An engrossing trip though the troubled relatinship between the creator of Spiderman, the industry that milked his talent, and the fans who adored his early work, abused his generosity, and eventually abandoned him.

Beautifully illustrated, with wonderful black-and-white full page repros of Strange Tales splash pages, and even featuring a complete reprint of his first ever published story, making you realise that the Ditko talent hit the industry fully formed and as mature as the greats of the fifties.
