Today, we celebrate Steve Ditko, who was born on this day in 1927! Steve was born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania to second-generation Carpatho-Rusyn American parents. Along with Stan Lee, Steve created the ubiquitous comic-book superhero Spider-Man. Being the illustrator of the duo, Steve designed the legendary red and blue suit that has become iconic not only in America, but around the world. Steve is remembered for his remarkable artistic achievements, including the creation of other popular characters, and for propelling comic-book superheroes to immense popularity—a phenomenon that continues to this day. Steve Ditko passed away in 2018 at the age of 90. Today, we celebrate a great Carpatho-Rusyn American—happy birthday, Steve!

On behalf of the Carpatho-Rusyn Society, we wish everyone a happy Carpatho-Rusyn Day in North America! Today, we remember that historic meeting in 1918 when, for the first occasion in modern times, Carpatho-Rusyns were recognized as a distinct nationality by neighboring peoples and the United States government.

The below picture was provided courtesy of Christine Hrichak, Chief Information Officer of the Carpatho-Rusyn Society, and the Hrichak family. The picture shows Christine's Rusyn great-grandfather John Hrichak (on the right side) in 1905 at his first job in the coal mines in St. Clair, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania.
