Stephen J. Ditko, também conhecido como Steve Ditko (Johnstown, Pensilvânia, 2 de novembro de 1927 — 29 de junho de 2018), foi um desenhista e roteirista norte-americano que, em 10 de agosto de 1962, ao lado do editor e roteirista Stan Lee, criou o Homem-Aranha, o Doutor Estranho e a maioria dos coadjuvantes e vilões clássicos do Cabeça de Teia; se destacam Camaleão, Doutor Octopus, Duende Verde, Electro, Abutre, Mystério e Kraven, o Caçador. Em 1966, Steve Ditko ingressou na antiga Charlton Comics e continuou a criar personagens que se tornariam famosos, como o Capitão Átomo e o Questão, com os direitos atualmente adquiridos pela DC Comics. Na década de 1950, Ditko cursou desenho na Cartoonists and Illustrators School, em Nova York, e ilustrava revistas de terror e suspense — as narrativas eram adequadas ao seu estilo de criação. Em 1968, criou o personagem Rastejante (The Creeper), além de Rapina e Columba (Hawk and Dove), para a DC. Na década de 1960, criou histórias para Charlton Comics, onde desenhava o Capitão Átomo e o Besouro Azul e, a partir de 1967, criou o herói mascarado Questão. Mais tarde, a Charlton seria comprada pela DC Comics.
