I don't know what the hell I published. I never knew. I never read the things. I never cared."〔 Artist Steve Ditko, the future co-creator of Spider-Man, began his professional comics career at Key in early 1953, illustrating writer Bruce Hamilton's science-fiction story "Stretching Things" for Key's Stanmor Publications, which sold the story to Ajax/Farrell, where it finally found publication in ''Fantastic Fears'' #5 (Feb. 1954).〔Bell, Blake.
