Post by: bminor on August 10, 2011, 08:52:11 AM

Hey everyone.
Thought I would put a few posts and links to what has been going down with the Jack Kirby vs. Marvel suit that is in the news.

Here is a few links to the story thus far:

Over at the Comics Alliance website this story is relevant:

Another Bissette story at the Comic Book Resources website:

Another story from the toon zone website:

A deposition by Mark Evanier in the Kirby Suit, a fascinating read, with links on the bottom of that page to depositions from:
Roy Thomas,
Larry Lieber
John Romita
Stan Lee

Pretty interesting stuff to read for those of us interested in the history of comic books.
