Mark Ditko, Steve’s nephew, added:
“Scott Dunbier. Steve Ditko. Spider-Man. Say no more. You know where this is going and what’s about to happen. A legendary book series showcasing a legendary creator on a legendary comic. A trifecta whose time has come. For some, me included, this is a surreal moment, to finally see this not as an imaginary blip on a phantom radar, but as a tangible, concrete book moving into production. This will be the book of the decade. I can think of few publications that would honor his legacy more than Scott Dunbier’s Artist Editions. Prepare yourselves for something truly Amazing.”
