漫画艺术家史蒂夫迪特科去世,享年90岁,他曾与斯坦李一起创作出如《蜘蛛侠》、《奇异博士》这样的传奇漫画作品。
The New York Police Department confirmed he was found dead in his apartment in Manhattan in late June. His death only came to light on Friday.
纽约警察署证实,史蒂夫迪特科于六月底被发现死于他在曼哈顿的公寓内。不过去世消息只到周五才公布。
Born in 1927 in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, Ditko became exposed to newspaper comics at an early age, and found his love for comic book superheroes during the inaugural issues of the iconic Batman character as well as Will Eisner’s “The Spirit.” After graduating high school in 1945, Ditko enlisted in the Army, where he got his first job in the comic book industry drawing comic strips for Army-syndicated newspapers.
生于1927年宾夕法尼亚州的约翰斯敦,迪特科年幼的时候便接触报刊杂志漫画,并沉迷于早起出版的像蝙蝠侠和物威尔埃斯纳创作的闪灵侠一样的漫画人物。1945年高中毕业后,迪特科参军,在军队中他获得了人生中第一份进入漫画产业的工作,为军营报刊画连环画。
After his discharge, Ditko studied under Batman artist Jerry Robinson in 1950 in New York City. Through Robinson’s tutelage, Ditko met then-editor-in-chief and future Marvel Comics CEO Stan Lee. He would join the early team of artists, including comic book art maestro Jack Kirby, in Marvel’s earliest ventures.
离开军队之后,迪特科1950年在纽约师从于蝙蝠侠漫画艺术家杰里鲁宾逊。在鲁滨逊的引荐下,迪特科遇到了时任主编以及未来漫威漫画的CEO斯坦李。他不久之后将会加入最早的一批漫画家的团队,其中就有漫画艺术大师杰克科比,创作漫威最早的漫画冒险。
Ditko was instrumental in creating Spider-Man, conceiving the character’s signature attributes such as his costume, the web shooters and the red and blue color scheme after Lee was unsatisfied with Kirby’s original designs. The character debuted in Amazing Fantasy #15 in 1962, and proved to be so popular that, in 1963, Marvel launched “Amazing Spider-Man,” the character’s first standalone series with Ditko and Lee at the helm. To date, Spider-Man is one of the most popular superheroes ever conceived, generating over 360 million book sales total since his debut.
迪特科主要贡献在于创作了《蜘蛛侠》,塑造了该人物具有代表性的元素,例如蜘蛛侠的着装,蛛网发射器以及红蓝为基调的主题涉及,这些都发生在李对科比原始涉及不甚满意之后。该人物首次于1962年漫画杂志《惊奇幻想》第十五期,随后被证实大受欢迎,并在1963年,漫威开发了《神奇的蜘蛛侠》,这是该人物第一份独立系列作品,由迪特科和李二人共同操刀。迄今为止,蜘蛛侠成为了众多超乎想象深受喜爱的超级英雄的一员,自他初次登场以来,总计共出版3.6亿册图书。
Doctor Strange debuted in 1963, but Ditko split with Marvel in the mid-60s after tangling with Lee. Among the other comics he created are Squirrel Girl, Mr. A, Captain Atom and Question.
奇异博士在1963年出道,但迪特科在与李发生纠纷之后在六十年代中期就与漫威分道扬镳了。在他创作的众多漫画中,还有松鼠女孩,A先生, 原子队长和问题(注:也是漫画人物)。
After a short stint with Charlton Comics, Ditko moved to Marvel competitor DC Comics in 1968, where he created the Creeper, a minor Batman villain who has made several appearances in the DC continuity as recently as 2017.
在查尔顿漫画呆了一段时间后,迪特科1968年辗转到漫威的竞争对手DC漫画去了,他在那里创作了爬行者,一个次要的蝙蝠侠系列的反派角色,在DC的系列漫画中直至2017年还有几次出场。
Ditko bounced around different publishers for the rest of his career as an artist, sometimes doing freelance work and once returning to Marvel to work on a few issues before moving on to other ventures.
迪特科的余生作为一名职业漫画家在各个出版商之间徘徊,有时做自由作家投稿,有时回到漫威在英雄们进入其他冒险前做一些作品出版。
Ditko kept a private personal life, declining to conduct interviews or make public appearances. Instead, he kept to himself and his work.
迪特科保持低调,拒绝参与采访以及各种公开露面。相反,他遵从自己的原则,固守自己的本职工作。
