On the BBC Comics rittania site, there is a clip of Ross' interview with Stan Lee about whether Ditko was Spider-Man's co-creator.

If you guys outside the UK can't see it, I'm told there are IP proxy type-things that will get around that.  Couldn't tell you where to find them though.

It was nice to put faces to names in the present,like Flo Steinberg,Macchio etc Ditko reminds me a bit of Neil Peart from Rush,both extremely talented but private.Both influenced by Ayn Rand too.Nice to see Gaiman with Ross too,Ross`s wife is involved with scripting Gaiman`s Stardust movie.

P.S. Cat Yronwode looked scary,not how i imagined at all!
