It's great to read ideas that mesh with my own from somebody who has been there and can speak with authority.<BR/><BR/>Comic creators are contracted, and they know their rights up front.

For example, when a novel is adapted into a film, the novelist can get a number of screen credits (story, characters, etc). Is that only because they own the characters?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16866374680134082264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34583750.post-82004550716461269402008-06-03T09:10:00.000-07:002008-06-03T09:10:00.000-07:00A note from you — or a lawyer's letter — to Avi Ar...A note from you — or a lawyer's letter — to Avi Arad or whomever couldn't hurt, though.

And me telling you that I really liked your run on Fantastic Four doesn't really help you feel any better either. :) It's good to know that you were able to be on the cusp of change in the 70's to get better contracts on characters you created.
