Ditko was a central player in the early development of Spider-Man and Dr. Strange for Marvel Comics.  Thanks for your creativity, Steve, and God bless you.

You know those Spiderman stories in the early run were classics, and there was nothing AT ALL like Dr. Strange when he  was behind the wheel. But I have a real soft spot for those TALES OF THE MYSTERIOUS TRAVELLER he did for Charlton. TWILGHT ZONE and OUTER LIMIITS and BORIS KARLOFF stories were never as good as their way cool covers. But Ditko delivered this sense of dread, anxiety, and awe with those 18 stories. He was an American genius and master draughtsman, and more people should know about his wonderful work for a lot of different companies.

Yes, it's sad.  He's always been one of my favourite creators. I love those original Spiderman issues.  His Captain Atom shone for me. Mr. A caused many a heated discussion in the pub.
I agree with Morgus about TALES OF THE MYSTERIOUS TRAVELLER and the cover on #4 is worthy of great praise. In fact, I think I'll fire up my tablet and have a read at them.
