In Wake of Disney-Marvel Deal, Cartoonists Heirs Seek to Reclaim Rights - Media Decoder Blog - NYTimes.com
While I get the Siegel and Shuster claim to Superman, I have to admit I'm really curious on what basis the Kirby estate is trying to claim rights to the Marvel characters.
Didn't Kirby testify on Marvel's behalf when Joe Simon tried to put his claim in for Captain America in the early days?
Unless Marvel is somehow missing crucial documentation... or that they are arguing signing the back of a paycheck doesn't make a binding contract?
