I seriously doubt families of the subjects of every one of these are contacted. In fact, unless input from family members is relevant to the book in question, I'm guessing that it's not normal practice to involve families.

It is an art book about a comic artist, that is all it professes to be. The book also acknowledges help from "the Official John Buscema Website" and John Buscema's Rep Owen O'Leary.
