Important to note that bewigged huckster and credit-hog #StanLee composed the risible thought balloon caption for this panel, not #SteveDitko. Just imagine how amazing Ditko's Spider-Man would have been without Lee's bone-headed subversions and vandalism. #FunkyFlashman

By his works shall ye know him.

Ditko's home town honours the great cartoonist and Randian philosopher with a mural featuring his most famous characters, at the Sonebridge Brewing Co.

You would not waste a pint of paint on that grifter Stan Lee. #FunkyFlashman

File under 'Lamentably Uninformed.'

#StanLee reaching out from beyond the grave with those thieving bony fingers claiming a zombie credit for characters created by #JackKirby, #SteveDitko, #JohnRomita and #DonHeck.

Shameless even in death, old #FunkyFlashman
