"real" MARVELMAN reprints from Marvel in July

<< < (2/2)

paw broon:
I dug out the Marvelman special from Quality to remind myself how good the Alan Davis framing pages were for the reprints.  I wasn't disappointed.  Plus, there's the Ian Gibson drawn Big Ben, the Man  with no Time for Crime.  And Don Lawrence did the Family story.  Great stuff.
I just don't want to go back to the perverted later stories.  Yuck.

John C:
For what it's worth, Paw, I'd believe the Davis version of the story, as well.  It's rare for him to speak out on anything, and what he said in his letter reflects what I understand about British law.  (I also love a lot of his work--very clean and expressive.)

I've learned that licensing contracts often assign "whatever rights, if any" to whoever pays the money.  So such contracts really should be taken with a grain of salt when signed.  But hey, what does Marvel care, right?

paw broon:
Right!
