"First, the corporation the Kirby's are suing had nothing to do with Marvel Comics in the sixties."

... a part from the fact they still get money from those 60s products

The current owners are not responsible legally or morally for fantasies that Martin MIGHT have told Jack Kirby way back when.  They're certainly not responsible if Jack, who RAN HIS OWN COMPANY as co-owner in the fifties and had twenty years of experience in the industry was gullible enough to believe Goodman. 

This suit is greed, pure and simple.  And, being an American, if I was in the Kirby family's situation and could get a law firm to represent me in this on a contingency basis, I'd sue too.  I'd be wrong morally, but what the heck, money is money and embarrassing an "evil" corporation into settling has worked many times before.


Red, if you had another mind it would be suicidal! Aussie Stu

Nah, this one is suicidal.  (You're lucky to have "socialized" health care in Australia, right?  Serious illness can't destroy your family's finances to the point where you can't even buy the reprint books you love and it may not be possible to save your home.)

My other mind loves you, Aussie, as I would a brother; seeking only  to enlighten you of the error of your ways.
   
Do love the kangaroo!  Back when I could afford it I tried to collect the famous "roo" early Australian stamps.  Had to sell them some time back, including my dearly beloved two pound variant.  Sigh.
