Marvel Artist Complains After 'X-Men: Apocalypse' Giveaway Uses His Work
"I received no prior notification (a common courtesy), no thank you (ditto), no written credit in any form whatsoever either on the piece or in connection with the premium, absolutely no compensation and no comp copies of the album. It's like two losing trifectas wrapped in an altogether indifferent f— you."
"he had to be physically restrained by colleagues from 'making a scene' at the Fox booth during the show about the giveaway."
Thank you Bill Sienkiewicz for speaking out on this. Marvel's history
of use and abuse -- going back to Kirby, Ditko, & Wood -- must end. Im
glad the Hollywood Reporter covered this but shame on them for
referring to creators speaking out on creator rights issues, as
"complaining".
Patrick Ford: Look at the reaction of Bill Sienkiewicz. Sienkiewicz
believed the work he was producing was work for hire. It's a reuse of
an old cover, for a giveaway. And yet Sienkiewicz had to be physically
restrained.
And then imagine how Jack Kirby felt every time he saw Stan Lee.
