Go, Read: NYT Article On Perlmutter Lawsuit

I would imagine that the primary appeal of this article about a hate-mail lawsuit facing Marvel's Ike Perlmutter is the oddball nature of the charges lobbied at one of the more enigmatic and idiosyncratic figures in comics history. Pay attention to the contextual work, though. The idea that lawsuits of the kind that gravitate to rich people like clotting to the lungs of a fat diabetic have practical implications for the functionality of the businesses involved, that fascinates me. I think there's an element of this that has an impact on all comics entities, no matter their size, as cartoonists that have hitched their wagon to a publisher only to see them leave the field might attest.
