Neal Adams coming to Kansas City
« on: March 02, 2013, 11:52:14 AM »
It's not technically Golden Age Comics related and a blatant plug to a local convention here, but I hope I am allowed to relate to you guys that Neal Adams will be a featured Guest Creator at Planet Comicon-Kansas City. Neal Adams was one of the guys who helped Siegel and Shuster get a pension from DC.

Quote
During the 1970s, Adams was politically active in the industry, and attempted to unionize its creative community. His efforts, along with precedents set by Atlas/Seaboard Comics' creator-friendly policies and other factors, helped lead to the modern industry's standard practice of returning original artwork to the artist, who can earn additional income from art sales to collectors. He won his battle in 1987, when Marvel returned original artwork to him and industry legend Jack Kirby, among others.[60][61] Adams notably and vocally helped lead the lobbying efforts that resulted in Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster receiving decades-overdue credit and some financial remuneration from DC.
