Romeo, Romeo, Wherefore Art Thou Royalty Cheque From Marvel Comics?

Romeo Tanghal, a comic creator in his mid-seventies, is best known for his inking work The New Teen Titans for DC Comics, but worked on hundreds of titles over the years at DC.

He also worked at Marvel Comics as well, on Captain America, Fantastic Four, the New Universe, and more. There is a big difference though.

He writes on Marty Pasko's Facebook page, as part of a thread in which Pasko praised Jenette Kahn and Paul Levitz for introducing royalty rates and media payment schemes for creators, such that Marvel had to follow suit.

Or rather, they did for some.

He did. On these titles at least. Reprinted and available digitally without generating any… "incentive payment".
