Marvel Visionaries: Steve Ditko Face Front, True Believer! In 1962, in the last issue of a canceled series, artist Steve Ditko teamed with writer Stan Lee to create a super hero unlike any other. Instead of a remote arctic headquarters or a secret underground cave, he lived with his elderly aunt in Queens, New York. He battled problems of money, school and family as often as he fought super villains. This new hero was Spider-Man - and guided by Lee and Ditko, he quickly became Marvel Comics' most popular character. During the next four years, Ditko helped create such memorable villains as Doctor Octopus, the Lizard, the Vulture and dozens more classic Spidey foes.
