Fick 1997, efter en lång rättslig tvist, en livränta från DC Comics . Efter honom har man även uppkallat priset Joe Shuster Canadian Comic Book Creator Awards som delas ut till serieskapare födda i Kanada, likt Shuster själv. Efter att ha stämt DC Comics hade Shuster problem med att hitta jobb, och gjorde under denna tid bland annat erotiska illustrationer med fetischistiska inslag för tidningen Nights of Horror") . Många av karaktärerna som han ritade påminde mycket om dem som har varit med och skapat till Stålmannen. Dessa har samlats i boken "Secret Identity: The Fetish Art of Superman's Co-creator Joe Shuster" som utkom i april 2009.
