I've always loved your work and I respect the passion and intent you have towards comics. Keep fighting the good fight.Donald Juenglinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12197023459437076018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443041708940542072.post-32140201352018852842011-01-28T23:20:09.425-08:002011-01-28T23:20:09.425-08:00The bigger companies, AND smaller ones are all act...The bigger companies, AND smaller ones are all acting like they are entitled to a piece of ownership of "your" intellectual property because they published it. How is that right!??! how is that fair!??! Did they create it? NO. They pony up cash to produce, and distribute. Does that entitle them to part ownership? No, I don't think it does. A share of the profit, plus a recoup of their initial investment? Yes. Absolutely. But if I create something from whole cloth, and i wanna publish through the larger houses, ( because they can pay better, and have amazing royalty programs, and foriegn distribution, so in the long run to feed my family I have little choice) I have to sacrifice a piece of "MY" pie to make a living, and hope it all turns out OK, and I don't get screwed in the process. But like I sad, DC has always done right by me, as far as royalties, foreign distribution, et all, so no complaints. I just have to be OK with them having a taste of everything on an ownership level, including Film, and all ancillary rights for the perpituity of publishing. Then hope for a clean reversion of rights, if and when I ask for it.Tony Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14155851420282645363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443041708940542072.post-73110981920162674612011-01-28T21:34:10.533-08:002011-01-28T21:34:10.533-08:00I completely agree with what you're saying Mr....I completely agree with what you're saying Mr. Harris, and bigger publishers do need to publicize their creator owned books more. However, the industry isn't nearly as bad as it was 15 years ago. I've only been an avid comic reader for about 6 years now, but from what I hear, the comics industry is practically in a renaissance compared to the late 90's.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12463797297964674907noreply@blogger.com
