Some Comics People Get Film Deals

Here's a very long article e-mailed to me several times on how comics writers and comics companies might get film and licensing deals and how this is a good thing because that means they may get a lot of money and for some it's the fulfillment of their particular dream. Those are notions I can get behind; I'm happy for people who fulfill their dreams and I like to see artists (not companies so much) make money.

On the other hand, this article takes a lot of graphs to get to the conclusion of roughly "getting a film and licensing deal is like hitting the lottery but it can happen," the really rough assertion by the structure of the article that modern movie deals have contributed to the current landscape of, say, comics page rates needed to be explored in much greater detail, and while there are a few incidental details of interest the analysis doesn't get much deeper than "rights are very important" (an actual quote). It's also ironic in an article about "comic book creators drawing better deals" they mention the Men in Black deal, in which the artist involved "drew" nothing in the way of a deal.
