Tom Holland, the man who currently holds the mantel to play Spider-Man on screen, has penned a touching tribute to legendary comic artiste Steve Ditko.

Ditko, who co-created Spider-Man and Doctor Strange with comic book legend Stan Lee, was found dead in his apartment on June 29. He was 90.

Holland, 22, took to Twitter to honour the comic book artiste, saying Ditko made "many people happy and changed lives".

"We all want to leave our mark on the world - this guy crushed it. He made so many people so happy and changed lives - most of all, mine! Thank you Steve - your life lives on man, thank you," he wrote.

Holland made his debut as Spider-Man/Peter Parker in "Captain America: Civil War" and later headlined his own solo "Spider-Man: Homecoming".

His latest turn as Spider-Man came in the blockbuster "Avengers: Infinity War", which released this April.

Marvel Entertainment also posted a tribute to Ditko.

The company shared a picture of Spider-Man and wrote, "Thank you, Steve. Rest in Peace."
