Personal Life
As of mid-2012, Ditko continues to work at studio in Manhattan's Midtown West neighborhood. He has refused to give interviews or make public appearances since the 1960s, explaining in 1969 that, "When I do a job, it's not my personality that I'm offering the readers but my artwork. It's not what I'm like that counts; it's what I did and how well it was done.... I produce a product, a comic art story. Steve Ditko is the brand name". He has, however, contributed numerous essays to Snyder's fanzine The Comics.
Ditko is an ardent supporter and advocate of the philosophy of Objectivism.
He has an artist nephew also named Steve Ditko. According to Will Eisner, Ditko has one son.
