Sorry, I should've made it clear that It was our favorite recluse, Ditko. I got it off of that
other Message Board, heres the post:
One of the commenters on that article (who runs this very cool blog:
http://ditko.blogspot.com/ ) kindly posted a few quotes from Ditko's most recent article in Robin Snyder's "The Comics", where he amongst other things, is bitchign about Marvel's breaking the 'toys' and pissing all over the costume.
The Marvel editorial mind could really try to “smash” the Law of Identity–A is A–of man as a hero, by smashing not the second, merely conventional hero label–Spider-Man–but what some editors tried to “smash” with the new Spider-Man costume: his visual identity, with a different, anti-Spider-Man costume, but the original costume, its identity, its reality, the original creation, is the original creation, the visual, existing Spider-Man, and that “status quo” identity stymies them if Spider-Man is Spider-Man.
They need that original creation because they still want, need, to keep feeding off the two labels: super hero, Spider-Man, and my costume design, off the “toy” believed, held, as a “trifle”.
So as much as the “status quo” Marvel editorial mentalities act to destroy, want to have them “smashed” to create “broken” pieces, those identities continue to mock, ridicule, their motive and their anti-hero, anti-mind behavior.
But the Quote Mentioned in my original post is from
The Comics, a small press newsletter published monthly by Robin Snyder.
