Steve Ditko, iconic Marvel artist/writer and co-creator of Spider-Man, Doctor Strange and many other classic characters, recently passed away at the age of 90.

We never really got to find out how Ditko felt about seeing the characters he had such a big hand in bringing to life making the jump to the big screen, but we like to think he'd have been proud of the latest incarnation of Spider-Man.
Marvel Studios seems to agree, as they've commemorated the great man with Ryan Meinerding's new painting of The MCU's interpretation of The Webhead, who was co-created by Ditko and Stan Lee back in the 60s.
Check out the image below, and please feel free to share your own thoughts on Steve Ditko and his legacy with us in the comments. Tom Holland will return as Peter Parker/Spidey in Spider-Man: Far From Home, which recently kicked-off production.
