* Mark Peters writes about the many likely connections between Jack Kirby and the Star Wars universe. I find the general notion pretty convincing, and remember times since then when people felt comic books didn't exist when it came to borrowing directly from them: like the Rorschach episode of NYPD Blue. Heck, we have 50 Girls 50 and Passengers right now -- that one seems unforgivably close to me. I'm not sure you can do much of anything about people stealing material, which is another reason why creative businesses need to be ethical: for the full reward of the original creator for that original creation.
