It was a fascinating week for comics with at least
three compelling big-name stories, almost as if 2005 finally woke up and realized it needed to make with the controversies. The announcement by Marvel that they would
appeal a partial summary judgment largely favoring Stan Lee in his case against them regarding a claim to a percentage of movie and television money was the one with the biggest names and feature-story appeal outside of industry circles.
Although it could be a long way from being finalized because of those appeals, the case has already, I think, focused our attention on one of the more puzzling comics business outcomes of the past decade, a contract clause I discuss one more time in
The Key to the Stan Lee Case, At Least for Me.
