In the Kirby vs Ditko debate I would have to take Kirby.  There is just so much more stuff Kirby produced that I enjoy so he wins by shear volume.  It's really a compliment to Ditko that his Spider-Man alone vs all of Kirby's work does make it a debatable topic in my mind.

I'll take Ditko's Spider-Man over Kirby's FF.  Probably the two best superhero comic runs of all-time.

Kirby's FF, surely if you would have made me that question in the 80's I would have answered Ditko's Spider-Man, I've appreciated the Kirby work recently.

I was all: "Kirby, man!" then I read Joe's post and then I was all: "Man, Joe Hollon made me think!  I don't like that!" so I flipped a coin and Kirby won.

So the lesson is: Joe Hollon can make me think, but he can't control coin flips.  At least, not yet.

Wrong! Gerry tell him who's the man doing Dr Strange?!

I'd say bulk of work overall, Kirby. But the really early stuff still have to stay with Ditko.

I like Kirby's art just little bit more but I really love Ditko's Spider-Man.
