The "In Search of Steve Ditko" documentary asserted that Ditko accepted no royalties. It was widely reported that Ditko turned down any money for the Spider-Man movies, and the Amazing Fantasy #15 original artwork (that ended up being donated to the Library of Congress) was offered first to Steve and his response was "not interested". Jim Shooter alleged that Ditko told him (in the 1970s or 1980s) that Ditko felt that he wasn't owed any royalties for reprints under his "contract" with Marvel, and that he would honor that "contract". However, Shooter also claimed that Ditko said he wouldn't necessarily object to Marvel being "generous".
