When I was little, I couldn’t understand why these were my favorite comics. I read other Spider-Man comics, but I didn’t feel about them the same. I also had no idea that these were reprints of the early origin issues of Spider-Man. I just knew these were my favorite comics. I was too young to realize that creators had different affects on stories, art, etc. It wouldn’t be ’til many years later that I learned of the genius of Steve Ditko. And then I understood why these were my favorite comics.

Thank you, Mr. Ditko.
