It would only be fair If you make it so that Creator X gets more money if his work sells well or is turned into a movie does that also mean that Creator X will pay back his salary if the project does worse than expected?

Dark Horse supplied preprinted blank comic books with panels, and each student wrote and drew a story. On display were the best from each school, and awards and prizes were handed out. One group was a class of First Graders! Another was sponsored by the Queens Public Library! Proud parents were taking pictures, kids were reading the comics on display, and the place was PACKED! Next year, I'm going to try and set up a display of howto books and try and offer advice to the parents.

If memory serves, they tried to rip off Stan the Man Lee too a couple years ago when the first Spider-Man movie was made, by not giving him his share of the profits. He had to sue them, and may have reached an out-of-court settlement in the end to get his share. I really can’t pity Marvel either.

Isn't Iron Man their first in-house flick? I'm sure that will make tons of cash. Marvel will likely make lots of money when their in-house properties get made.

They create these characters, Marvel banks, and the writers/artists get a mere fraction of the profits?
