It’s STEVE DITKO WEEK here at I.T.C.H.! As such, every day this week we will offer up at least one link to some Ditko goodness on the Net and today it’s ALL Ditko! Besides that, however, Craig will be presenting highlights from his new book, THE ART OF DITKO throughout the week so check back here often.

If you don’t know who Steve Ditko is (and I can’t imagine that to be the case with anyone reading this blog!) here’s a link to the quite informative (and seemingly accurate!) WIKIPEDIA page on this unique comic book artist whose work now spans nearly sixty years!

THE STEVE DITKO COMICS WEBLOG is a blog that offers looks to the past as well as regular updates on Ditko reprints from various publishers and even the newest Steve Ditko 21st Century products as offered mostly through Robin Snyder.

One can’t discuss Ditko’s work without noting the influence of Ayn Rand. Here’s an interesting online article entitled “Static: Steve Ditko’s Battle of Ideas,” written by Rodney Schroeter and originally published in a 1988 issue of AMAZING HEROES.

In a section on famous Objectivists, the website ADHERENTS.COM presents a look at “The Religious Affiliation of Comic Book Artist, Writer, Steve Ditko” as explored through a series of quotations from various sources.
