They don't go after the hundreds of convention artists selling direct copies of famous covers. It's an homage and I'm fairly certain there are actual laws protecting him in this case.

From what I can tell that is not a homage.

A homage has to reference a picture, not copy it.

He didn't trace it, it's not an exact copy. Like I said, go to any major convention and you'll see 100 booths in artist alley where this happens. Now if he was selling prints of the actual art he'd get in trouble. But no, this is his take on a controversial art piece drawn on a book designed to be drawn on. He's fine.

Well my point is it isn't an homage.

Same reason just redrawing the Actions Comics #1 isn't a homage. Its just a copy. Hell its not even in a distinctive style its produced in the exact same way.

Though yeah they won't do anything about it, because that is an unspoken thing that is allowed, even if it has always existed on a relatively shaky legal ground.

Martin Nodell was selling reproductions of covers he drew on the original Green Lantern at conventions back in the day. DC told him to stop and he proved he was homaging himself and kept on selling them.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
The bottom line is that right now it's one rear end in a top hat selling one cover, and literally the stupidest thing DC can do is give him mainstream attention.

Marvel responds to Wimberly's Lighten Up comic.

quote:

Alonso: In his Nib cartoon, Ron posed a question, "Is this racist?", casting a shadow over his editor and, by extension, Marvel. Here's what happened: The issue in question was "Wolverine and the X-Men" #10, a jam book that featured 8 different artists -- 14, if you include colorists -- one of whom was Ron Wimberly. The editor simply asked Ron to match the skin-tone that had been established for the character -- Melita Garner, a Latina -- on previous pages. She would have done the same if Ron had made Melita's skin too light.

To suggest that the editor or Marvel was uncomfortable with the character having dark or darker skin flies in the face of who we are and our history. Just last night, Sana Amanat, Marvel's Director of Content & Character development appeared on Comedy Central's "The Nightly Show" to speak about the growing diversity of our publishing efforts. We are the home to Storm, the Black Panther, Miles Morales [Ultimate Spider-Man], Sam Wilson [the All-New Captain America], Robbie Reyes [the All-New Ghost Rider] and Kamala Khan [Ms. Marvel], and our ethnically diverse staff of editors spans the color chart Ron cites in his Nib cartoon. I am Mexican-American, so that makes me #caa468.

Wimberly responds by asking artists if the big two ever told them darken up.

Aside from that response completely missing the point then going "hey, look at how diverse we are!" it's also really stupid because the "established" skin color was ignored by literally every other artist.

Convention sketches and the like are still in a sort of grey area. Doing reproductions of your own art is one thing, but DC and Marvel have usually turned a blind eye to the legal issues with sketch art because sketches are an important source of income for many artists... because, frankly, a lot of artists aren't paid what they're worth by comic companies. :(

It's interesting going back and reading that issue because his Melita is definitely darker and incongruous to everybody else's - and while she does match the swatch given him in the rest of the book, so do ostensibly white people and even Storm.

So hey now that the apology's been published the only thing I'm wondering about the Sims/D'Orazio thing is: Apparently he started harassing her in the first place because she wrote a Punisher story he thought was awful. So has anybody here read it and is it in fact bad? Just curious.

Yes, it's really that bad and no it didn't start it, it probably ended it. Their fight started two perhaps three years before that.

Oh okay. D'Orazio talked a lot about the Punisher in her Twitter rant so I thought it was the origin point, but I guess that the Punisher thing was just a particularly sore spot. Thanks for the info though.

I don't really know who Glenn Danzig is, but googling him, he looks like he could play closer to the original concept of "hairy, uncharasmatic troll man".

Don't get me wrong, Hugh Jackman is awesome, but his portrayal also always rubbed me the wrong way. The need to beutify and clean up a character to bring them closer to sociatal ideals in adaptions pisses me off. But ignoring it's an adaption and Wolverine is just some action movie star character, it's a good portrayal.

I forgot to say that their version of the character was really beastly, more of an animalistic look. With the films being the big hot thing Marvel wanted a handsome Wolverine in all the comics. I wonder if he'll be taller when they resurrect him.

It's worth pointing out that another key difference between Glenn Danzig and Hugh Jackman is that Jackman was already a professional actor when he was cast, and Danzig was and is not.
