Friendly neighborhood Spiderman has touched down in a big way at the Library of Congress. Through an anonymous donor, the library has acquired the 24 pages of original artwork from Amazing Fantasy #15, the omnibus Marvel title that brought the wistful web slinger into the world in 1962. Drawn by the elusive, mercurial Steve Ditko and co-created by Stan Lee, visitors to the library will soon be able to study HI RES digital scans of all the pages. This is shaping up to be quite a summer for the press shy Ditko. An illustrated biography, Strange and Stranger: The World of Steve Ditko, by Blake Bell, is due out in July from Fantagraphic Books. We’ll be reviewing it and revealing more about Steve Ditko in the coming weeks.
