Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages Stan Lee & Steve Ditko | The Amazing Spider-Man
In 1991, Marvel became the first comic book company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The newspapers declared “Spider-Man is coming to Wall Street.” It seems a bit unlikely that a character that’s part nerdy teen and part bug would become the face of the company and one of the most iconic figures in comic book history. Of course, everyone loves a good underdog story so for this mini episode, we are going to cover how Stan Lee and his friends created the Amazing Spider-Man.
In this mini episode, I referenced Jack Kirby and Jim Davis. If you want to learn more about either of those artists, listen to the episodes linked below.
