When Marvel Comics Does The Right Thing For Marc Lapierre Over 75 Years From Pulp To Pop Iron Man Fan Art

Last week, we ran a story about how Marc Lapierre saw his own fan art for Iron Man used in the ABC puff documentary Marvel: 75 Years From Pulp To Pop, masquerading as real Marvel artwork.

Afterwards, we understand that as a result of the Bleeding Cool article, the director of the show Zak Knutson got in touch with Marc. He wrote,

As you already know, we used your art. That wasn't supposed to happen. We screwed up. We made this thing in 8 weeks, and your art got through the approval process – and it shouldn't have. If it makes you feel any better, it was so good – we thought it was real Marvel art. We weren't trying to screw you over – I promise. Just an honest mistake.

Anyway, we want to make sure that we do right by you.  Do you have an email that I could put you and the producer in touch. We want to make sure that you are taken care of monetarily. It wasn't right, and we want to do right by you. Let me know if this is possible.

Thanks and I hope you understand.
