Reclusive artist walked away from Marvel in 1968, kept drawing for decades.

New York police confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter on Friday that one of Marvel Comics' legendary staffers, Steve Ditko, was found dead in his apartment this week. Ditko was 90.

The creator of Dr. Strange and the original artist (plus "co-creator," according to Stan Lee) for Spider-Man had been found days earlier, on June 29, and police told THR that they believed he had been dead for two days when he was found. Reports indicate Ditko left behind no family or survivors.

    At that price it's literally cheaper for me to file a lawsuit in small claims court against comcast... why would anyone complain?

    They should make it cheaper than a filing fee (around $25 or $50?) so that it's not useless.
