For those of us based in the UK, it was pretty extraordinary to see Stan Lee in person at the first ever 'London Super Comic Convention' earlier this year. However, I for one am now kicking myself for buying a pricey copy of Amazing Spider-Man #39 (pencilled by the brilliant John Romita Sr.) to get signed by "The Man" as Bleeding Cool reports that next year will see Steve Ditko visit this side of the pond for a VERY rare convention appearance. As you should already know, Ditko is the co-creator of Spider-Man and Doctor Strange, and worked on many, many other Marvel characters as well. See you there!
UPDATE: It would appear as if the report mentioned above was in fact incorrect as Comic Conventions (where it seems that information actually originated from) have issued the following statement. "Please let me make this clear Steve Ditko will not be attending LSCC 2013. IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED THAT THIS IS INDEED A FAKE NAME RELEASED TO US AND HAS BEEN CONFIRMED AS NOT COMING."
