“Alan Moore disowns Hollywood because of the LEAGUE lawsuit at Fox, disses people and returns his money for Constantine and Vendetta and then agrees to be a Simpsons voice- for FOX? Biggest Hypocrite Ever!”

It’s just harmless fun, lighten up dude you sound like Dez Skinn!

I know I will be buying the comic when it comes back you can bet on that.

If he owned it then he never lost it and doesn’t have to get it back.

You can only assign copyright to someone else in writing.

If he didn’t assign it then he has it now and doesn’t need to battle at all.

Since he probably DOESN’T own it (work for hire for publisher) and never stepped up to protect it before because he probably doesn’t own it this is more MOORE bullshit.

And before you get on my jock because of my superior knowledge…

“Bombshell?” “Rip-off?” “Backburner”

Sound like New York Post headlines.

Heidi, Kimota has been out of print since 2003. After the first book came out, there was to be a second edition, with new material, if the relaunch ever occured… but there isnt’ really anything major to report. There’s little things happening behind the scences but nothing that appears to bring the book closer to print; I have been meaning to write an article about the history of MM since 2000.

[...] Heidi MacDonald covers the radio beat, listening to the Alan Moore Fanboy Radio interview: We had a chance to listen to the Alan Moore interview on Fanboy Radio, and in it he dropped a bit of a bombshell into the already ravaged crater that is the rights situation of Marvelman/Miracleman. You’ll recall that this long unavailable comics classic is unavailable because the rights are in dispute among Todd McFarlane, Neil Gaiman and possibly others. McFarlane and Gaiman already had one lawsuit with the rights as part of the stake, and further legal wrangling has crawled along. [...]

Personally, I would argue that Miracleman/Marvelman was created by Bill Parker & C. C. Beck, since he was obviously a rip-off of the original Captain Marvel.

It’s a story I have on the back burner…

That would be George’s fantastically good Kimota!, a very thoroughly researched and highly readable history of Marvelman/Miracleman. If you’re remotely interested in the character, you really need to read this.

If Anglo has ownership, he wasn’t fully aware of it when I talked to him for my book seven years ago. Perhaps he has some rights since the property originated from him, but I highly doubt that it would be the original publisher’s family trying to help him. I’m positive that it is Mick’s family helping him and that’s probably a good thing.

It’s important to remember that Dez Skinn did deal with Anglo when the Marvelman revivial started in the early eighties. Mick even remembered some incidents about Eclipse.
