At 90, a good long run.  A lasting legacy.  What a life.

Even the best Artists, the greats have their own shelf life sadly. Another Legend is gone.

Like Jack Kirby, Ditko was a legend not just in comics but in the medium as a whole. Respect due and paid.

RIP Steve Ditko. Alongside Stan Lee and Jack Kirby one key creators of the Marvel Universe as we know it today. I true visionary with a unique creative view.

A legend indeed, and I'm especially sad that I've only heard this news on comics-based outlets - the due came up with Spider-Man and Dr Strange for F's sake! These are characters known literally around the world.

BBC at least did this:

It's possible Radio 4's obituary program Last Word might feature him on Friday 16:00 (repeated Sunday 20:30).

Clive King of Stig of the Dump fame. Must re-read it as I have very fond memories of this book.

I had no idea he was still alive!  (Well, until today, I suppose.) Stig of the Dump was brilliant, I don't know how many times I read it as a child but I still remember the story in detail.

That's one I had to double-check before believing, it having been the setup for many a punchline in the past (the punchline involving difficulty in getting the coffin into the ground).  There's also been recurring hoaxes (seemingly always about him rather than his brother).

Aretha Franklin, 76. Respect was a song that crossed all barriers. RIP.
