In comics, justice always prevails, but the business of comics is a
lot trickier. Marc Greenberg combines the expertise of a legal
scholar with the passion and insight of a long-time comics fan,
untangling the morass of legal issues facing comics - and all
creative enterprises - in the past, present and future. Comic Art,
Creativity and the Law is essential reading for anyone interested
in understanding the multi-billion dollar global industry that
comics has spawned.' - Rob Salkowitz, author of Comic-Con and the
Business of Pop Culture'An intellectual tour de force and a
compelling read . . . Far beyond a practical guide to the law of
comics (though it is that too), Greenberg's book touches on the
nature of creativity, the basis for IP law and the history of this
fascinating medium.' - Professor Mark A. Lemley, Director, Stanford
Law School, US The characters and stories found in comic art play a
dominant role in contemporary popular culture throughout the world.
In this first-of-its-kind work, Comic Art, Creativity and the Law
examines how law and legal doctrine shapes the creative process as
applied to comic art. The book examines the impact of contract law,
copyright law (including termination rights, parody and ownership
of characters), tax law and obscenity law has on the creative
process. It considers how these laws enhance and constrain the
process of creating comic art by examining the effect their often
inconsistent and incoherent application has had on the lives of
creators, retailers and readers of comic art. It uniquely explains
the disparate results in two key comic book parody cases, the
Winter Brothers case and the Air Pirates case, offering an
explanation for the seemingly inconsistent results in those cases.
Finally, it offers a detailed discussion and analysis of the
history and operation of the 'work for hire' doctrine in copyright
law and its effect on comic art creators. Designed for academics,
practitioners, students and fans of comic art, the book offers
proposals for changes in those laws that constrain the creative
process, as well as a glimpse into the future of comic art and the
law.
