I’ve listened to the podcast for the last year now and Wow, today I learned something new. This two-part episode really opened me up. I never knew about the rival revenge company that blew it. Really wish it did succeed, I think these titles would have been tremendous. Thanks Rob for taking the time to look into this and giving a great show. Because of this episode I bought the first issue of The Scorpion. Keep up the awesome content.
I have one question: if the creators were given the rights, how can the company come back and say it’s their IP and sell the movie rights. Or am I mistaking on how IP and creator rights work? Again, thank you for all you’ve done in this industry.
The Atlas 70s era include other publishers – Eclipse/Jan & Dean Mullaney, Fantagraphics/Gary Groth, Kitchen Sink/Dennis Kitchen, and Skywald/Sol Brodsky & Isreal Waldman. I wonder where Awesome Comics got their inspiration? Great show about page rates!
