English Comics Daily Diversion: Chick's Own and Bubbles June 21st 1952



Ditko Diversion


Daniel Best has posted an oral history on the disputed creation of Spider-man. Included with the article are scans of original pages from the first appearance of Spider-man in Amazing Adult Fantasy #15 which a few years ago were anonymously donated to the USA Library of Congress. The complete issue of Amazing Adult Fantasy #15 included Ditko illustrated backup features which also feature on Daniel's blog. 

The Pikitia Press store has several issues of Steve Ditko's contemporary work available and we'll shortly have copies of the long out of print reissue of the 112 page Steve Ditko's Service Package as well as his Ditko's latest work from 2013, 32 pager, Ditko: 18.
