Before Spider-Man leaped off the pages of comic books into the movies,
Steve Ditko, a cartoonist, and Stan Lee, a scriptwriter, sat down at their
desks and invented him. The Library of Congress possesses the original
drawings for their collaboration, which appeared in the August 1962 issue
of “Amazing Fantasy.” Together we look at the moment the radioactive spider
bit Peter Parker, turning him from a lonely teenager into a superhero. We
discuss how Steve Ditko changed his art in reaction to Stan Lee’s editorial
notations in the margins of the drawing. Specialists present the art in an
interactive format, highlighting the artistic creative process, including
how Ditko drew the costume for the first time and how it differs from what
Spider-Man wears today. We also discuss how Peter comes to learn “with
great power there must also come — great responsibility!” Conceived as an
interactive event aimed at children and young adults who may be aware only
of the Marvel movies, Library staff will highlight and discuss that the
story came from a book — a comic book — and the imaginative possibilities
of a talented writer and artist working as a team.
