Ever Wanted a Spiderman Comic signed--by the co-creator of Spider-man!?
Well, I am here to tell you very-kindly not to waste your time. Still, feel free to send fan mail, christmas cards etc or buy original art if you can. But he has a "no signing policy". :(
Ironically he will write you a short letter (handwritten) telling you this and he signs the letter "S.D." which probably takes more time to do---than it would signing 3 autographs.
Ha!
I am saving the letter---but I thought I'd let anyone know who is about to spend a bunch of postage---to save you a little trouble!
I don't get it---Stan Lee always signed for everyone for "FREE" until it stopped him from getting his work done on a daily basis! (I got one for Free about a year ago from Pow entertainment & I paid for one at MegaCon) John Romita Sr, JR JR, Joe Giella, Herb Trimpe, all still sign for fans.
Is Ditko being a jerk to fans?
Is he the only one that does not sign!?
I would love to hear any and all thoughts below!?

Steve Ditko Autograph Request
I don't know why you wanted to get your books signed. But I think the reason why he don't sign any of his books is because he know people would try to make money off it. Trying to make a quick buck. Again I m not saying you are trying to do that.
@Hydrapool
Thanks for the reply!
I hear ya on your first point, he does have a right not to, I agree 100%! But, let me just clarify about the paper! I just got the personalized hand-written (in pencil) letter addressed to me, but I talked to someone else I am acquaintances with and Ditko handwrote and personalized a letter for him as well. So do you still feel the same way!? Or do you think, if he's going to handwrite so many letters, then why not just sign the books!?
@CraftyArrow
Thanks for the reply
The reason I wanted some books signed is simply for fun--and I have never sold any of my books. I really admire a lot of the creators in comics. Stan Lee being the most obvious----the line for him @ MegaCon was insanely long!
