Line it is Drawn: Celebrating the Genius of Steve Ditko

By Aaron Sittig On Oct 4, 2021

This week, our artists drew your suggestions of team-ups of some of Steve Ditko’s many famous creations.

So every week, I post a topic here. You reply to it on the CSBG Twitter page (just write @csbg with your reply), our artists will each pick one of your suggestions and I will post their drawings based on your suggestions here every week. So every week you will have a new question and you will see the choices picked from the previous week.

To qualify, you have to be following @csbg when you reply – so go follow us and then give your answer to the following question/challenge (All suggestions due by 8:59am Pacific Monday).

The topic for next week…

In honor of the release of Venom: Let There Be Carnage, suggest a comic book hero in the Venom symbiote versus a comic book villain in the Carnage symbiote

Read on for the drawings that came about courtesy of the last question/challenge!

In honor of Steve Ditko’s brother trying to reclaim the copyrights on two of Steve Ditko’s most famous creations, Spider-Man and Doctor Strange (and because Adam asked for this to be the theme this week), suggest two (or more) Ditko characters to team-up and our artists will draw it if they so wish!

Enjoy!

I’ll put them in alphabetical order based on the person who made the suggestion (with one exception)
