From today's must-read post about Gary Friedrich, by Neal Adams: "Gary is a victim of the deficiencies of two very bad copyright laws, and the history in the comic book industry of poor practices on everybody's part. There will be battles in the future, and good will come of them. But this is simply just a bad situation. Gary is one of us. And while we can't save him from Marvel, and his small place in history, we can help him have a place to live, ongoing. And I can only promise you this. If you find yourself in a bad situation, whether for heath or other reasons, I and others, will join to help you. Just as you have helped to support William Messner-Loebs, Dave Cockrum and others."
