Steve Ditko, co-creator of Spider-Man, and Bruce Wechtenhiser (one of the world’s biggest Spider-Man fans) have something in common: they both were born and raised in Johnstown, PA (Bruce has lived there his whole life). Bruce has been collecting Spider-Man comic books and memorabilia for more than 50 years. His collection and his stories of collecting have been featured in various media over the past two years. Bruce’s emotional connection to the character is the hallmark of his collection. Come hear about Steve Ditko's Johnstown roots and the past and upcoming events in his hometown to honor their Hometown Hero (including mural honoring Ditko, installed in June, 2022, which is the only public artwork approved by Marvel Comics anywhere in the WORLD)! See some rare Ditko Spider-Man memorabilia in person! www.spideyandme.com
