DARK HORSE PUSHES 12 CREATOR-OWNED SERIES FOR SDCC, INCLUDING ‘FIGHT CLUB 2′, ‘LADY KILLER’, AND ‘HELLBOY AND THE B.P.R.D.’
Over the last twelve days, Dark Horse has thrown a spotlight on twelve new creator-owned titles that they plan to promote at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. The series include the Fight Club sequel from Chuck Palahniuk and Cameron Stewart
How much of the Fight Club sequel is Cameron Stewart going to own?
How many of the creative personnel on a comic have to own a piece for it to be considered creator-owned?
Coming soon to a comics discussion near you: “Semi-creator-owned.”
Weirdly enough, I was thinking of this yesterday in terms of Image. For all intents and purposes, is Supreme: Blue Rose considered a creator-owned comic or a work-for-hire gig? Rob Liefeld owns Supreme, sure, but for Warren Ellis and Tula Lotay, what’s the difference between working on that book versus working on something for Marvel and DC? Is Prophet creator-owned or work-for-hire, in that Brandon Graham and his artists own none of it, but the guy who created the original character owns the whole thing?
Which “creators” are we talking about when it comes to defining “creator-owned,” is what I’m asking, I guess?
