Graphic novels and comics have launched characters and stories that
play a dominant role in contemporary popular culture throughout the
world. The extensive revisions in this second edition of Comic Art,
Creativity and the Law update the author’s analysis of important
changes at the intersection of law and comics, featuring an
examination of how recent cases will affect the creative process as
applied to comic art. Throughout, Marc H. Greenberg examines the
impact of contract law, copyright law (including termination
rights, parody and ownership of characters), tax law and obscenity
law on the creative process. He 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.
Thoroughly revised and updated, there are new chapters featuring a
discussion of important new cases in copyright work-for-hire and
fair use doctrines; the intersection of law and fan-based
creations, such as fan fiction, fan art, fan film and cosplay; as
well as a new chapter on licensing comics for motion pictures and
television. Designed for academics, practitioners, students of law
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.
