      18. Ditko doesn't give interviews and is as hermetic as Pynchon and Salinger. But he's written some revealing essays.

      19. Reading between the line, post-1966 Ditko decided he would never do personal, committed work for commercial publishers again.

      20. Instead, Ditko's interest, passion and focus really is on his oddball Randian tracts.

      21. Coupled with focus on Randian tracts, Ditko now takes Randian attitude to how he was treated by Marvel: I signed contract, it was a deal

      22. Congress has changed copyright laws to allow companies like Marvel to extend hold on characters like Spider-Man.

      23. But new copyright laws also allow original freelancers to sue for share of intellectual properties they helped create.

      24. Kirby's family sued under law, and ended up settling with Marvel. Settlement undisclosed but one account says around $30-50 million.

      25. Ditko is still alive, 89 years old, and in a position to sue Marvel over Spider-Man and Dr. Strange. I don't think he'll do it though.

      26. Randian pseudo-logic has helped Steve Ditko reconcile himself to his fate. He made a deal, did the job. No need to revisit past.

      27. More Randian pseudo-logic. A deal is a deal. You don't go back & use the law to renegotiate.Either you live by your word & you are false

      28. More than that, Ditko has the Randian amour propre: he's the true creator, Rourke & Galt, who turns back on corrupt society.

          29. It's entirely possible that becoming a Randian will cost Ditko what he could earn in lawsuit: between $50 million & $100 million.

          30. In conclusion: listen to me kids: don't read Ayn fucking Rand. Or at the very least, don't take her seriously.
