Jack Kirby - The Greatest SYMBOLS in Comics . An early Marvel house ad focusing on the superheros who were growing in fan interest and sales. Art by Kirby and Sol Brodsky. Spider-Man figure probably penciled by Kirby and inked by Ditko, similar to - but not the same figure - as the one on the cover to AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1. This ad appeared in the May 1963 issue of Fantastic Four, #14. Marvel now had a corner symbol that identified his characters on the comic book racks (invented by Steve Ditko); a company Logo (Marvel Comics Group, a recycled name originally used on occasion in 1950s ads); and a distinctive slogan: The House of Ideas! The super-heroes had rapidly becoming the most essential part of their comic line-up.
