There are some great pin-ups Steve Ditko contributed of "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man". The poster above was a six-foot wonder delivered to fans in a handy-dandy tube.
Some amazing art for a set of posters. Getting remuneration for jobs like this was just one of the sticking points for both Ditko and Kirby in Marvel's early years. Despite that injustice, they are great to look at nonetheless.

Martin Goodman, Stan Lee and Co. got filthy rich off the backs of guys like Kirby and Ditko, all under the veneer of a having a good time in the Mighty Marvel Bullpen. Donenfeld and DC did the same thing to creators like Siegel and Shuster.

(Something which drove Walt Disney to distraction.) Sadly we have seen for the last few decades a return to this poverty-minded haves and have-nots kind of thinking in the U.S.
