Study Hall Member Jay Deitcher Interviewed Spider-Man Co-Creator Steve Ditko’s Friends and Family
For Rolling Stone, Jay Deitcher interviewed Steve Ditko’s family and friends about “the myths surrounding his life and found a dude who never fit within social norms, yet cultivated thriving relationships.”
Reflecting on his piece, Deitcher states, “Similar to how Peter Parker never lets loved ones get too close for fear it would put them in danger, Ditko compartmentalized his life, keeping work and family distinct to feel power over a world that overwhelmed him. And the things that caused folks to marginalize him were what transformed comics forever.”
Deitcher’s writing has appeared in Vox, Shondaland, BBC, and other outlets.
