A rare and incredibly desirable piece of comic book history, this lot features an authentic hand-signed index card by the legendary artist and writer Steve Ditko (1927–2018).Ditko is famously reclusive, having spent decades avoiding the spotlight, interviews, and public appearances. Because he rarely signed autographs for fans and almost never attended conventions, his signature is among the most difficult to acquire of all the "Golden and Silver Age" greats. As the co-creator of Spider-Man and Doctor Strange, Ditko’s influence on modern mythology is immeasurable. This index card provides a clean, focused example of his signature, making it a "holy grail" for serious Marvel collectors and comic historians.
