Steve Ditko's Birthday!

I had no idea until I checked the Comics Reporter that today is the 78th birthday of a comics legend - the great Steve Dikto. Can you imagine a comics industry without Steve's artwork? Is there some parallel Earth where giants like Steve or Jack Kirby never roamed the 4-colour landscape and all the kids had to read were Ritchie Rich comics? Scary thought. Happy birthday and best wishes for many more to Steve.
