Podcast appearances and mentions of Steve Ditko

Before there was the Marvel Universe… before Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's Fantastic Four changed everything in 1961… there was Atlas Comics. It was the 1950s — the so-called “lost decade” for Marvel. The superheroes were gone. In their place came monsters, crime, westerns, romance, and science fiction. But inside those pages, you could already see the DNA of what was coming next.From artists like Joe Maneely, Bill Everett, and a young Steve Ditko… to Stan Lee's endless experiments with genre and tone… the Atlas years are the missing link between Timely's Golden Age and Marvel's Silver Age explosion. In this episode, we're diving deep into that forgotten era — the stories, the creators, the rise and fall of the Atlas line, and how those books quietly paved the way for the Marvel Revolution.

FLASHBACK! If you're into American comics at all, you undoubtedly know how Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko and others changed the industry with their work in the 1960s, and set the template for kinds of stories Marvel still publishes today. That's just part of the story that Sean Howe researched for his 2012 book … Continue reading #410 Marvel Comics: Telling the Untold Story

Step right up! In this issue of Amazing Spider-Man #22 (1965), Stan Lee and Steve Ditko bring back the Circus of Crime - now rebranded as the Masters of Menace = led by the Clown in a chaotic art heist targeting J. Jonah Jameson. Chris explores the issues' blend of slapstick villainy, Peter Parker's romantic tension with Betty Brant and Liz Allen, and the slice-of-life storytelling that made early Spider-Man so iconic.  Whether you're a vintage comic collectior, a Spider-Man lore buff, or just love classic Marvel drama, Chris lays out the plot and beats, and goes into Ditko's visual storytelling.

Episode #568! Works by Carl Barks, Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko! This episode we look at a number of books featuring the work of comic's top creators. Scott starts by bringing two very nice Vanguard sketchbooks to the table featuring John Romita and John Buscema.  DL has Ditko's Shorts from Craig Yoe. We also look at Fantagraphics' Complete Walt Disney's Donald Duck vol. #1, Donald Duck Finds Pirate Gold. Scott has two Jack Kirby collections from Pure Imagination. Plus plenty of extras! 

Hammer Time at the House of Franklin-Stein! Chris and Cindy discuss the 1966 film The Reptile! A mysterious black death plagues the residents of a small Cornish village. What kind of creature could be behind it, and who will save the day? Why, none other than Hammer's greatest supporting player, Michael Ripper! Then they slither to the comic crypt to check out Spider-Man's first encounter with Dr. Curt Connor's reptilian alter-ego, the Lizard from Amazing Spider-Man #6 by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko!

Every creative person has that one work their audience considers the ultimate creation—their masterpiece. On today's pod, we had a blast digging into some of our favorite comic creators' defining works. We talk about legends like Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, and Neal Adams, along with later giants like Frank Miller, Bill Sienkiewicz, Mike Mignola, and many more. Is a masterpiece a single issue, an iconic run, a stretch of covers, or even one unforgettable cover? Is it the creation of an iconic character like Thanos or Deadpool? Or could it be something beyond the page, such as the launch of Image Comics and Milestone Media?  The conversation runs long and goes in all kinds of directions (as you might expect), but one thing's for sure—the opinions fly fast and furious!

Comic legend Erik Larsen is back to discuss his return to Marvel, writing the new Spider-Man Noir miniseries and creating a Jack Kirby–inspired variant cover for Venom: Black, White & Blood, in which he writes and draws a short story.

Larsen also shares what's ahead for Savage Dragon, recounts meeting Steve Ditko, sets the record straight on Mark Bagley, and reveals where the best burritos in San Francisco are, really.Spider-Man Noir is in stores October 1st, you can also find Erik at NYCC and Fan Expo San Francisco.Join my Patreon https://www.patreon.com/davengersdirecteditionhttps://www.westcoastdavengers.com/direct-edition-podcast

This week on Black Hoodie Alchemy, we're rounding home-plate and reading the second half of my friend and colleague Eric Millar's work, The Four Color Grimoire! And this has everything to do with the legendary and still somewhat-unsung legacy of Jack Kirby - the King of Comics! But overall, it has the most to do with the art of nerd-fandom world-building itself, and the catharsis that can come from both creating and enjoying these things.(For those unfamiliar, Stan Lee hardly created any of the heroes he is known for, and rode off the coat-tails of Kirby in the creation of superheroes like the Avengers, the X-Men, and most of their respective casts. And when Lee wasn't riding on Kirby's coat-tails, he hitched onto people like Steve Ditko in the creation of Spider-Man.)If you haven't listened to the last episode, I encourage you to do so, although it's not entirely necessary. In the first half of the work, we discussed the archetypal, allegorical value in modern nerd fandoms by looking at OG comic book culture and art.In this episode, we talk all that context and dive into the legacies of some of the most inventive and esoteric creators in comic books! While a solid two-thirds or so focuses on the great Jack Kirby, we also take the time to look into the titanic art and careers of both Steve Ditko and Rick Veitch. Don't sleep on these fascinating artists, or on Eric's Four Color Grimoire!RELATED CONTENT:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DIVE MANUAL AUDIOBOOK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (narrated by Joe Rupe)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HUNT MANUAL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BHA LINKTREE w books, shorts, and much more⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠purchase Four Color Grimoire⁠⁠WE THE HALLOWED⁠ MEDIABHA episodes with Eric Millar:Four Color Grimoire pt 1⁠Existential Fury⁠⁠Garbage Wizardry⁠⁠OG Comics and mysticism pt 1⁠⁠OG Comics and mysticism pt 2 (with Martin Ferretti)⁠This week's featured music, as always, is brought to you by some of the most titanic beatmakers and wordsmiths of the underground!

Este mes nos sumergimos en la llamada Bronze Age, con un clásico de Spider-Man... ¡La Noche En Que Murió Gwen Stacy! Tenemos una historia dramática, de la mano de Gerry Conway, jovencísimo guionista que tomó las riendas Stan Lee del título arácnido (vamos a ser sinceros, Stan las tenía agarradas bien flojitas), junto con el artista sucesor de Steve Ditko, John Romita padre en tintas y dirección artística, y el también legendario Gil Kane en lápices. La maldad y locura del Green Goblin, la inocencia de Gwen, y el dolor de un Peter Parker que ya no será el mismo.

In this 2006 conversation, legendary writer and editor Denny O'Neil joins Word Balloon to revisit his groundbreaking 1980s run on The Question, a series that helped redefine the character for a new generation. Originally created by Steve Ditko for Charlton Comics, Vic Sage found new life under O'Neil's pen—philosophical, gritty, and deeply human.We also explore Denny's novel Helltown, which digs into Vic Sage's origin story in a bold new way. Longtime fans will notice some departures from past continuity, but the spirit—and sharp commentary—are pure O'Neil.Plus: Denny shares stories from his early days in comics, working under editors like Julie Schwartz and Stan Lee, and yes, there's some great Batman talk too—no surprise from the man who helped shape the Dark Knight for over three decades. A must-listen for fans of classic comics, noir storytelling, and one of the true legends of the mediu

Jim Shooter talked to the Crawlspace back in 2015 for the podcast. He was the Editor-In-Chief of Marvel Comics from 1978 until 1987. During that that time he saw success with the Secret Wars, giving Spider-Man a new black suit and also marrying off Peter Parker. The interview talks also talks about his memories of working in the Marvel Bullpen including a fun Steve Ditko story. And did you ever wonder about that scene in Secret Wars II where the Beyonder is taught to learn how to use the bathroom from Spider-Man? He discusses that fun moment in the book.  This re-broadcast is from episode #394.  If you would like to see the video of this interview, the link is here.  https://youtu.be/frsTG0licec?si=WBC1b9PP-tu-Cg7O Are you a Crawlspace patreon member?

For our final season, we're covering the short life of Martin Goodman's Atlas/Seaboard comics by reviewing all the debut issues from their line.  What do you get when you make a stew out of Orwell's 1984 heavily seasoned with Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 and generous pinches of A Clockwork Orange and a dash of The Time Machine?

Ditkoverse publications are here: http://www.igg.me/at/ditkoverse1Alex Grand speaks with Steve Ditko's nephew, Mark Ditko, and longtime Ditko collaborator Mort Todd about their DitkoVerse publishing venture, a project dedicated to “remastering” and re-presenting classic Steve Ditko stories in high-quality editions . They describe their upcoming Indiegogo campaign, which kicks off a broader plan to keep Ditko's independent work in continuous print leading up to what would have been his 100th birthday in 2027. The initial releases include Mister A—relettered and published in color for the first time—along with Fantastic Giants (featuring Charlton monster stories), Static (a superhero title), and a revised edition of Avenging World, Ditko's philosophical opus. Mort Todd, who worked with Ditko as far back as the mid-1980s, explains the painstaking restoration process—cleaning up original black-and-white artwork, recoloring, and updating lettering in a way that stays faithful to Ditko's intent. Mark emphasizes that the family's focus is on honoring Steve Ditko's desire to keep his work available and of high quality. The interview also touches on personal anecdotes—such as Ditko's private yet supportive nature—and highlights their shared commitment: all funds raised will go directly into producing and distributing further reprints and unreleased material so future generations can appreciate Ditko's unique blend of storytelling, philosophy, and artistry.00:00 Intro and greetings  00:28 Settlement with Disney  01:01 Receiving Legend Award  02:15 Launching DitkoVerse Project  03:46 Mort Todd involvement  05:02 Why use Indiegogo  11:00 Exclusive fan rewards  11:37 Starting titles lineup  14:00 Avenging World spotlight  15:37 Restoration process details  16:16 Balancing family legacy  19:16 Beyond Marvel overview  22:43 Editorial approach discussion  28:00 Social media impact  31:00 Mort Todd anecdote  35:02 Mark Ditko anecdote  40:05 Indiegogo campaign info  01:00:48 Wrap up thoughts  01:03:00 End of interview  My book, Understanding Superhero Comic Books available at https://a.co/d/iIE3fWH .

As Jessie Hale finds herself saddled with the most irritating translator she could have asked for, we find ourselves once again joined by Lauren Petronaci, who has a surprisingly strong reaction to The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles episodes we watched this time. Plus, Brian has a controversial take on Steve Ditko, Bud-Arcs and bullwhips return, and Sam and Brian share some recent personal Indy news involving a treasured relic that belongs in a museum.

A new(ish) era of Serious Fun kicks off with UWGB English professor Zack Kruse! Bryan and Zack talk about the work of the enigmatic and often misunderstood Steve Ditko, creator of characters like Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, and The Question, as well as Zack's must-read book "Mysterious Travelers: Steve Ditko and the Search for a New Liberal Identity".

¡Hombre Araña! ¡Hombre Araña! ¡Tu Amigable Vecino El Hombre Araña! Marvel Studios Animation recientemente lanzó la primera temporada de la nueva serie animada del arácnido, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, que explora los comienzos de la carrera superheroica de Peter Parker en un universo que se parece un poco al MCU, pero que al final no es. En este programa hacemos la RE: seña de esta serie, que mezcla elementos modernos con inspiraciones visuales de los dos artistas más clásicos de Spidey, su co-creador Steve Ditko, y quien lo sucedió, John Romita padre. Después, ya que estábamos en la onda "inicios de Spidey", reseñamos varios comics viejos con comienzos del personaje. Empezamos por su debut en Amazing Fantasy #15 (por Steve Ditko y Stan Lee) y el primer número de su propia serie, Amazing Spider-Man, ambas de 1962 y del mismo equipo creativo (Steve Ditko y Stan Lee). Seguimos por los primeros dos números del primer volumen de Marvel Team-Up (1971/1972, por Roy Thomas, Gerry Comway, y Ross Andru), con un Spider-Man que ya tiene algunos años de actividad, pero haciendo sus primeras colaboraciones importantes con su amigo Human Torch. Para terminar, cubrimos los dos primeros números de Untold Tales of Spider-Man (1995, por Kurt Busiek y Pat Olliffe), una serie con historias retroactivamente ubicadas en los primeros años de actividad del trepamuros. Con música de The Math Club con Relaye y Melo Makes Music (sampleando a Paul Francis Webster y Bob Harris), Within The Ruins, y Weezer. Próximo programa: Tres comics rioplatenses, Tango Pulp / Nonfata / El Cronista.

Spider-Man es uno de los personajes más icónicos de la historia. Su carisma, su representación de la fuerza colectiva o la naturaleza cotidiana de sus problemas, como las deudas, la inestabilidad laboral o los alquileres abusivos, lo convierten en un símbolo de actualidad a pesar de tener más de 60 años. Por ello, desde que fue presentado en el cómic Amazing Fantasy #15, el éxito del superhéroe creado por Steve Ditko y Stan Lee ha trascendido las viñetas. Y toca fijarnos en lo que más nos gusta: los videojuegos. ¿Cuál es el mejor videojuego de Spidey? ¿Y el primero? ¿Cómo ha influenciado el cómic a los videojuegos y cómo éstos han influenciado al noveno arte de vuelta? Hablamos con el periodista José Antonio Luna, autor de Una araña en la red del videojuego (Héroes de papel), un recorrido de más de 40 años por las aventuras del trepamuros en consolas desde la Atari 2600 a la PlayStation 5.  Con Don Víctor y Duque de Champagne hablamos de Spider-Man en la que siempre ha sido y será su casa: los cómics.Escuchar audio

As Indy travels to Cuba to clear Marcus' name, Barm and Jack both swing by to weigh in the Crimson Jack of it all in Skeleton Crew, to fight off a case of Indy Fever in Peking, to admire the unexpected charms of Steve Ditko in these comic pages, and to revel in the joys of the Smash Martians.

Craig Yoe's biographical interview highlights his creative journey through personal struggles and reinvention, who transforms adversity into creativity while remaining true to his innovative spirit. He discusses his graphic novel Woman & Man+, a psychedelic reflection on leaving the U.S., a painful divorce, and using art therapy to rebuild his life. Raised in the Midwest, Yoe credits his parents for encouraging his creativity, with influences like Carl Barks, Marvel Comics, Steve Ditko, and Robert Crumb. Yoe's 1960s anti-war activism, through protests and underground newspapers, reflected his pacifist values despite cultural losses like the deaths of Hendrix and Joplin. In the 1970s, he embraced the Jesus People movement, blending communal living, spiritual exploration, and work on Christian newspapers with artists like Rick Griffin. He oversaw David C. Cooke Bible and Life Pix comics before moving into toy design with Sid Diamond Toy Company and Marvin Glass toymakers. Yoe later became Creative Director for Jim Henson's Muppets and founded Yoe Studio, building a decades-long career in design and storytelling. His publishing imprint, Yoe Books, has produced award-winning works celebrating comics history and pop culture.

Here at Back Issue Banter, we try to come up with answers as to why we love classic comics, but this time we're examining The Question.We're taking a look at DC Comics' 1987 revival of The Question and to help us unravel this, we brought on a guest.  Brian Linnen (Permanent Record Podcast) chose this month's topic, so it's only fitting that he chatted with us about this enigmatic character created by Steve Ditko, who originally appeared as one of the Charlton Comics heroes...or anti-heroes.The Question is a different type of comic -- no long underwear types here -- and it was great fun dissecting and talking about this.Hosted by Chris Karam and Brad Page.Check out Brian Linnen's Permanent Record Podcast: https://www.permanentrecordpodcast.com/
