First to all I didnt want to get involved in political disccussions because Im not american but this could affect Pilli Adventure,
Pilli its not main income but is becoming a great part of my income because its an add for my freelance jobs.
All night watched youtube videos , hundreds of tweets and wikipedia entries before the blackout.
At least I sould do is to inform
from topless robot

Wikipedia has set it up where you can enter your zip code and get the contact information for your Senators and Representatives, phone numbers, emails, Twitter handles and more. If you want to make a difference, this is the way to do it. I’m asking you, personally, to take a few minutes and directly let the people who are making this decision know how you feel. Because it’s not just my job that’s at stake — it’s a great deal more.

the best advice so far came from Daniel Corsetto,

The ones who follow my twitter probably know this.
I didnt want to announce it yet but since its 87% done I think its time…
I will release a Pilli Book,
The book will be around 150 pages, it will include 2010-2011
comics (stargirl, Piñata man, Monster war and narco cola) besides
extra material and some sagas will have extra pages…

I never wanted to do a book or profit from the comic, but if the
internet falls or I die and no one pay the hosting kinda the comic
will be lost forever.

temporary cover (no plans yet for a spanish version yet)

the new eerie cuties book!! yay

Yes because that really worked out for magneto in the X-men 3 movie,
(for those who dont read comics like me, the phoenix a really big scary fire thing is coming to earth and is going to posses a little mutand girl the xmen want to use it and the the avengers to stop it leading to the xmen vs avengers crossover( civil war 2.00 and of course everyone will drop the idiot ball again and everyone is going to love it)

Short form:

A guy named Gary Friedrich created the character of Ghost Rider for Marvel comics. You know, tortured motorcyclist, head on fire, spirit of divine retribution, all that. Couple zillion comics sold, big movie with Nicolas Cage, and a sequel about to hit theaters, all owned by the comics division of Disney, the multi-billion dollar company.

As with many creators, the gigs fell away and today Friedrich has no residuals, no pension, and no material benefit from having created such a lucrative property. He’s been selling prints of Ghost Rider to keep from being entirely destitute, and sued Marvel for a fraction of the worth that he created for them.

Clearly, this could not stand. Marvel countersued for the value of those prints, and as of today, have won a US$17,000 judgment against Friedrich². Also, he cannot ever say that he created Ghost Rider.

the real world is scary.
scott kurtz have better words than mine to explain this topic

I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching about this lately, because I can see both sides here. On the one side you have the world of real people. Creators who are facing real problems. Bankruptsy, medical bills, mortgages. And it’s just so crazy to think that a person experiencing those problems created something that’s earning millions in the box office and he receives none of it.

On the other side you have a world of corporations and properties. And the very real laws that are involved for a corporation to own and exploit those properties for profit.

Can a corporation feel sorry for a guy, and set a precedent of giving him some money without dismantling their entire business? Once they decide that one creator who worked under very bad practices in the 50s,60s,70s is due a percentage of profits because, shit, they created the character, won’t that set the precedent that all other creators who worked under such practices are also owed?

Another big question I have is…what was this guy doing since Ghost Rider? Did he just have one idea? That was it? Just the one? Could he not create anything else? Try something else? Retain ownership?

I think that speaks to a lot of it. How many people even know who created Ghost Rider before this article came out? How much of what Ghost Rider is at this point is because of that one creator and how much of it is because of years and years of development across 100 other creators?

If Marvel gives this guy a chunk, don’t they owe a chunk to every person who ever contributed to Ghost Rider?

The flip side to this story, of creators working under unfair practices and not ending up like the Seigels or the Kirbys or this guy, is Image. They said screw it and left and started their own companies and made their own creator-owned stuff.

I think this is a sad story. I think it’s tragic that there are artists struggling while they watch their creations dance across a now a corporate owned blockbuster movie, but I think it’s just more complicated than “he created it, so he gets a percentage.”
