The legendary comic artist Steve Ditko is well known for his co-creation with Stan Lee, Spiderman. Lesser known is his later creation, Squirrel Girl. As a youngster I was enthralled by the adventures of Spidey; I even had a life-sized Spiderman in my room (which was surreal when on a fortunate occasion Stan Lee visited our house and signed it in Peter Parker’s name for me!).
However I’m not convinced that “Squirrel Girl” would have quite the same hook for a 8 year old boy as a guy with Spider-sense.
Maybe she is the only hero of any merit in New Hampshire though!
