Steve Ditko, who invented Spiderman among other characters, is the subject of a recent article in The Telegraph, which notes Ditko’s interest in Ayn Rand: “Steve Ditko hasn’t given a formal interview since 1968 and has avoided fans for almost as long. He has become the comic industry’s J.D. Salinger, though with much more extreme political views. Ditko became a devotee of Ayn Rand, a man who practices a strict philosophy of self-reliance, creative control and absolutely no truck with the supernatural.” Ditko himself explained his take on Objectivism and how it applied to his comic book heroes in this short film.
