Re: Roy Thomas is trying to get credit for character creations including Wolverine.

Re: Comic Conventions

"Greed" is certainly one word, but there's also much more charitable synonyms to describe what is essentially an opportunity to make a year's salary (even a celebrity salary) in a weekend. I don't...

Re: Movies that feature actual comic books

OK... this'll be a tricky one. And not 'comic book' per se, but comic strips. In the original Scarface, 46m in, a mobster is machine-gunned in theblobby of the Hotel Cambridge while reading a...
