Biography of the amazing Steve Ditko (SD)! It is about time a book for children addressed SD contributions to Spider-Man (SM). Because SD was an introvert he did not get the attention Stan Lee (SL) got for creating SM. There are so many stories about their collaboration on SM that it is a web that has caught both truth and lies - that will never be untangled. I also shelved this book as philosophy because of SD adherence to the teachings of Ayn Rand. In my opinion it did influence his creative impulse to a large degree.
