A Sense of Doubt blog post #1295 - Steve Ditko RIP
I am off to Rose City Comic Con today. Though I am sad to learn that I missing XOXO, which is also happening in Portland.
Last night, I did Tech Crawl.
I am delaying the usual Throwback Thursday and a sample trip report for my students to get these things posted on time and spend more time prepping the Throwback Trip Report, which may not come out until Sunday. Hey, original content takes time. Here's some sharing, then, in the spirit of not always being able to produce original content because of... you know, work.
I am late to the party, but I want to acknowledge the loss of a giant in the comic book world.
You had a long life Steve Ditko.
Still, we will miss you a lot.
Thanks for all the great stories and coloring inside the lines of my childhood.

R.I.P. Steve Ditko (1927-2018)
The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Steve Ditko, the legendary co-creator of Spider-Man and Dr. Strange, among others, has passed away at the age of 90. Mr. Ditko died in his New York City apartment sometime around the end of June, and his body was found a few days later on June 29th. The Hollywood Reporter confirmed Mr. Ditko’s identity with the NYC Police Department.
It’s a sad ending for one of the all-time great creators of comics. While Mr. Ditko has no known surviving relatives, he leaves behind a legion of beloved characters that he either created or co-created, including Spider-Man, Dr. Strange (as well as most major figures in their Rogues’ Galleries), the Ted Kord Blue Beetle, Captain Atom, the Question, Mr. A, the Creeper, Hawk and Dove, Shade the Changing Man, the Prince Gavyn Starman, Speedball, and Squirrel Girl. For a man with the Objectivist attitude of “My work is me,” it is perhaps fitting that he is ultimately survived by all the great characters and stories he gave us.
We’ll have more to say about Mr. Ditko and his work in the coming days here at the Atomic Junk Shop, but for now, we offer our deepest condolences to all who knew, worked with, or loved Steve Ditko. We certainly count ourselves among that number.

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
