He agreed to the deal, or the standard terms that were in place then and he would not renege. If Marvel chose to be generous, fine. But he would stand by the choices he made. And, here comes the quote, he wasn’t going to let the Guild use him as a “poster child.”

Work for hire is work for hire. The fact that twenty to thirty years after the work was created its value soared in ways never imagined does not change the condition under which it was created and the expectations of the parties at that time.
