Marvel Tales is where I came in on Steve Ditko's Spidey, but I'd found a couple of Machine Man comics early on, and was a ROM reader for the last year of the title, about the time of the Marvel Tales.
I read about this documentary; possible spoiler alert, but there's an admission by Stan that seems to suggest far more Ditko influence in Spidey that is generally acknowledged.
I was introduced to Blue Beetle #5 as arguably the best, most straightforward allegory of good vs. evil and their definitions---for Ditko, that's saying a lot.
