This episode of Comic Tropes takes a look at Steve Ditko's comic book work and history. Ditko was an ardent follower of Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism. By looking at how seriously he took his beliefs, we can put his career in context and understand which projects he decided to work on and which ones, like SpiderMan, that he'd walk away from even though they were successful. Stan Lee has said some things but Ditko never gave as many public interviews. Nevertheless, he did grant a few rare interviews and wrote many essays in his selfpublished comics like Mr. A, so those are shared so that we hear about his history in his own words.
