Changing of the Guard at CBLDF

The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund elected new officers at its
Board of Directors meeting at July's Comic-Con International.
Founder Denis Kitchen retired from the Board, and will be
replaced as President by Chris Staros, publisher of Top Shelf
Productions.  Milton Griepp was elected as the organization's new
Treasurer, succeeding Frank Mangiaracina.  Peter David, John
Davis, Neil Gaiman, Frank Mangiaracina, Greg Ketter, and Louise
Nemschoff were also re-elected to serve another term on the Board
of Directors.

Kitchen's retirement from the Board marks the end of an era for
the Fund, which he founded 18 years ago.  "The challenges facing
comics are different from when I founded the Fund," Kitchen
said.  "In the eighties, comics were still fighting for
respectability and it was perhaps easier for them to be
stigmatized as kid stuff.  Two decades later, comics have
attained a certain respectability, but are facing new sets of
challenges.  I think it's fitting that the generation directly
facing these challenges, led by Chris Staros, a publisher after
my own heart, should be the ones standing up to them."

Chris Staros recalls, "Back in '97 I wrote Denis Kitchen to tell
him that 'one day, when I've earned my place in comics, I'd love
to serve on the CBLDF Board of Directors,' as I've always
believed in the absolute importance of its mission. For two years
I've had the pleasure of serving on the Board under Denis, and
have witnessed first hand what an amazing asset he's been in
defending the First Amendment rights of our industry. It'll be
tough to fill the shoes of the founder of the Fund, but I'm
honored to take over as President, and look forward to working
with the entire community in this role."

Milton Griepp's election as Treasurer was received as good news
by Kitchen who said, "I'm delighted that Milton is the
organization's new Treasurer.  He brings a particular corporate
expertise and extensive experience in non-profit fiscal
management that I'm certain will help the Fund grow even stronger
in the future."

Kitchen adds, "I look forward to continuing my support of the
Fund from the other side of the table.  I feel that I'm leaving
the organization in good hands, with an active Board under the
leadership of Chris and Milton, and a strong office under the
management of Charles Brownstein.  I'm confident that the Fund
can only become stronger as it confronts the challenges on the
horizon."

********************************

A Personal Message from Chris Staros:

Hello, everyone. Thank you so much for the warm reception. I've
received dozens of heart-felt and congratulatory emails since the
above announcement was released by the CBLDF. It's nice to be in
such a supportive community, and I look forward to working with
all of you in the coming months.

You know, comics is the last truly free artistic medium. Yet the
fact that it's relatively small makes it extremely vulnerable to
politicians and prosecutors trying to make names for themselves
on the often-overzealous moral ground of "protecting the
children." It is here that First Amendment battle lines are drawn
and precedent setting cases are determined, and that's why it's
critical that all of us -- publishers, distributors, retailers,
creators, and fans alike -- support the CBLDF in any way that we
can.

It may surprise you to learn that there are currently only 1,300
members of the CBLDF. In an industry of over 3,000 retailers and
at least 5,000 professionals -- the most likely to be defended by
the Fund -- as well as over 250,000 fans, there are only 1,300
people who feel strong enough to become "card carrying" members
of the CBLDF.

We're fortunate enough to live in a stable country, which gives
us the "luxury" of becoming complacent about political matters.
But in a post 9/11 environment, when the battle for our civil
liberties is being fought at all levels, this is not the time to
sit on the sidelines.

I've personally witnessed -- as Top Shelf -- what this community
is capable of when it rallies behind a cause. And the CBLDF is a
cause worth rallying for. In his acceptance speech for the
CBLDF's Defender of Liberty Award at this year's Eisner ceremony,
Jim Lee eloquently stated "You certainly don't need the likes of
me to tell you what dangers we face as an industry and as a
community: dangers from overzealous local prosecutors looking for
easy, under-funded targets for political gain; dangers from a
federal government using an environment of fear and uncertainty
to weaken our civil rights. ... We live in a scary time -- a time
when the power of the First Amendment is truly being tested and
it is my honor to be able to help in any way possible. But we
need your involvement as well. Every professional, every
retailer, every fan here should be a member of the CBLDF."

And in Chuck Rozanski's Defender of Liberty acceptance speech
from the previous year he impassionedly expressed, "One of the
things that's come up lately is the concept that patriotism
involves repression. I think that in this country -- my adopted
country -- that patriotism, true patriotism, involves defending
the rights that the people who came before us fought and died to
achieve. ... we owe it to the next generation to not leave them
a world which has greater repression and less freedom than the
world we were given. So I ask you all to support the CBLDF in any
way that you can."

When pillars of the community voice articulate and emotional
pleas like this, there is no excuse not to take action.

SAVAGE DRAGON FOR PRES.?

Savage Dragon mounts presidential bid this November. Erik
Larsen's Savage Dragon has done a lot of things over the course
of 115 issues, but one thing he's never done is run for public
office.
Until now.

As the presidential election heads to the wire, Dragon finds
himself thrust onto the campaign trail with vice presidential
hopeful Ronald Winston Urass.

While the seeds of the storyline are planted with SAVAGE DRAGON
#116 (available in August), Dragon's run to the White House begin
in earnest with SAVAGE DRAGON #119, available just in time for
the election this November.

SAVAGE DRAGON creator Erik Larsen outlines the political game
plan for Dragon.

"Ronald Winston Urass is a wealthy man and his wealth is the key
ingredient needed for a successful run for the White House. But
this isn't at simple as you might think. Dragon himself has no
strong political aspirations. He's literally thrust into the
spotlight because the will of the American public," says the
Image publisher. "It'll be a campaign, like none ever waged. A
real grassroots effort. In actuality, neither Dragon or Urass
will actually be on any ballots and that they're depending
entirely on people writing them in. Urass spends BILLIONS in ads
and appears EVERYWHERE in an effort to drum up support for this
grassroots campaign."

"When it's revealed that Bush has been replaced by an Imposter
(in issue #119) things REALLY take off for Dragon. People don't
trust their leaders. They don't know what's real and what isn't.
They don't know who to believe in and who to trust."

The election storyline will last beyond the current political
season, with lingering ramifications affecting the future of the
book, as well.

"The Dragon has, in the past, saved the world several times,"
explains Larsen. "At one point he had overthrown a dictator that
had taken control of the world and there were a number of people
who felt strongly that he should have taken control of the planet
himself. He's widely perceived as a natural leader and respected
as a man of power and integrity. When Urass raises the notion of
the Dragon becoming the head honcho of the United Stares as its
Commander in chief it makes a lot of sense to a great number of
people."

Be sure to show your support for the campaign by stopping by the
Image booth at Wizard World Chicago and picking up a limited
edition "Dragon/Urass in '04" bumper sticker, and remember to
vote for your favorite savage candidate this November!

Mister Dragon Goes to Washington in SAVAGE DRAGON #119, available
for order in the August issue of Previews and scheduled to go on
sale October 27.

'05 24 HR COMIC DATE SET

Nat Gertler, publisher of About Comics and founder of 24 Hour
Comics Day, has announced the date for the next event: April
23rd, 2005. On this day, cartoonists around the world will take
the 24 hour comics challenge, each trying to write and draw a 24
page comics story in 24 straight hours.

"The event really needs to be on a Saturday, so that people can
spend their 24 hours and still have time to recover before work
or school on Monday," explains Gertler. "Because of that, we
couldn't keep the April 24th date we used for this year's
inaugural event. But by having the 24
hours starting on the twenty-third, it actually ends on the
24th."

Once again, comic book stores, comic clubs, and educational
institutions will be hosting 24 Hour Comics Day events where
cartoonists will work side by side in a spirit of camaraderie.
"The early indications are that most but not all of the locations
that hosted events this year will do it again next time, and
there's a fair number of additional retailers showing interest.
Between that and the on-going enthusiasm from both amateur and
professional cartoonists, it looks like 2005 will be even bigger
than 2004," says Gertler. Announcement of the initial list of
event locations is still months away.

In other 24-hour-comics-related news:

 Sponsors for 24 Hour Comics Day are being sought. "We're not
looking for money," explains Gertler, "but for products that will
make the day more enjoyable for those participating at event
sites. Snacks, meals, soft drinks, energy drinks, art supplies,
and photocopying services are the obvious examples." Sponsors
will not only get exposure at the event sites, but will also be
mentioned in press materials and on the website. Interested
parties should email sponsors@24hourcomics.com

 The book 24 Hour Comics Day Highlights 2004, collecting 24
interesting stories from this year's celebration, is now in
stores. The print run on the book is about 1700 copies and is not
likely to see a second printing, so folks who are fans of the
work of Josh Howard, Christian Gossett, Eric Wolfe Hanson, Ken
Lashley, Joel Priddy, and the other pro and amateur cartoonists
represented within should ask their comics retailer for one now.

 Due to a production error, 24 Hour Comics Day Highlights 2004
reproduces one page of Michael Connor's story twice, leaving one
page out. Go to
http://www.24hourcomics.com/24HCD2004missingpage.html to read the
missing page. About Comics apologizes to the readers and to
Michael Connor for the error.

Found in 1997, About Comics is a small publisher whose select
list of titles are not limited by the usual categorization of the
comics field. Working with some of the most respected names in
comics, About Comics publishes titles ranging from traditional
superhero material to all-ages
humorous graphic novels to adult-themed prose material aimed at
comics fans. For more information, go to www.AboutComics.com

24 Hour Comics Day is an international celebration of comics
creation. Based on the 24 hour comics dare created by leading
comics theoretician Scott McCloud, cartoonists try to each create
a full 24 page comic book, normally months of work, in 24
straight hours. Other cartoonists take this day to join in comics
creation in ways that are in the spirit of the challenge, if not
strictly to the letter of it. In 2004, more than 500 cartoonists
participated at over 50 international event locations, and untold
others celebrated in private. For more info on the 24 hour comics
challenge and 24 Hour Comics Day, go to www.24HourComics.com

TOKYOPOP INC. TAKES BLIZZARD ENTERTAINMENT(r)'S WARCRAFT(r) SERIES
FROM THE PC TO THE PAGE WITH AN EXCITING NEW MANGA TRILOGY

Series to Feature Best-Selling Author Richard Knaak and Renowned
Artist Jae Hwan Kim

Los Angeles, CA--TOKYOPOP Inc. and Blizzard Entertainment(r) are
proud to announce a groundbreaking project based on the immensely
popular Warcraft(r) game universe. The publishing powerhouse and
gaming gurus have joined forces to develop a three-book manga
series titled Warcraft: The Sunwell Trilogy! The Warcraft manga
will be penned by New York Times best-selling fantasy author
Richard Knaak--who is also writing a trilogy of Warcraft novels--
and illustrated by Jae Hwan Kim, artist of TOKYOPOP's fan-
favorite King of Hell series.

Set in the same rich universe as Blizzard's upcoming Massively
Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game World of Warcraft(TM),
Warcraft: The Sunwell Trilogy is a fresh take on the events in
Warcraft III using original characters and storylines. The three
manga volumes follow the adventures of Kalec, a blue dragon who
has taken human form to escape the forces that seek to destroy
his race, and Anveena, a maiden with secrets of her own. What
starts as a flight for survival turns into a quest to save the
entire High Elven Kingdom from the forces of the Undead Scourge.
"Blizzard consistently produces the highest quality PC games on
the market, and we brought together a winning, international
creative team to uphold the Warcraft standard," said series
editor Jake Forbes. "We knew Richard Knaak would be the best
writer for the series, but we were still blown away by the magic
and intrigue-filled story he delivered. Jae Hwan Kim, one of the
most talented manga artists in Korea, was already a fan of the
Warcraft games, and we love his take on the world...we know fans
will too."

"We're very pleased to be entering into this partnership with
TOKYOPOP," stated Paul Sams, Blizzard Entertainment's senior vice
president of business operations. "We look forward to offering
gamers a new perspective on events taking place within the
Warcraft storyline while also introducing a new universe to manga
fans."

Since its debut in 1994, the #1-selling Warcraft game series has
won industry acclaim and has shattered sales records worldwide
with over 14 million copies sold*. In 1995, Blizzard followed the
well-received Warcraft: Orcs and Humans(tm) with the critically
acclaimed Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness(TM), which won multiple
Game of the Year awards and is still considered by many critics
to be one of the best games ever made. In 2002, Blizzard expanded
the boundaries of the epic Warcraft universe with the release of
Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos(TM). This third chapter in the
legendary saga quickly reached the #1 position on sales charts
around the world and has also since garnered Game of the Year
awards from numerous gaming publications. The upcoming World of
Warcraft is Blizzard's most ambitious effort to date, and will
undoubtedly introduce millions of new players to the Warcraft
universe.

Warcraft: The Sunwell Trilogy Volume 1: Dragon Hunt debuts in
early spring 2005.

SIEGEL FAMILY TO REGAIN RIGHTS TO SUPERBOY?

Numerous rumors have been flying of late regarding Superman,
Superboy and the copyrights to these world famous characters,
including whispers that the heirs of creators Jerry Siegel and
Joe Shuster have regained the rights to the characters.

While the rights appear to be caught in legal limbo, according to
paperwork filed at the Library of Congress, in November 2002,
Joanne Siegel and Laura Siegel Larson filed to terminate the
assignment of Superboy's copyright to Time Warner, The Beat has
learned. The termination becomes effective on November 17, 2004.

In addition, Mark Peary, the executor to Joe Shuster's estate,
has filed a copyright assignment termination notice for Superman,
effective October 26, 2013.

As well documented, Siegel and Shuster sold all rights to
Superman to National Periodicals in 1938 for $130. Within just a
few years, the character had become a sensation, with a radio
drama and movie serial in addition to the comic.

In 1947, while the character remained enormously profitable, the
duo were getting less and less work, and sued DC (as the company
was then known) to regain the rights to Superman. Although the
judge ruled in favor of DC, he assigned the rights to Superboy -
a separate character who had recently been introduced in the
pages of MORE FUN COMICS - to Siegel and Shuster, citing the fact
that the editorially created character was an unfair infringement
on their original copyright. According to Gerard Jones' upcoming
history of the period MEN OF TOMORROW, Siegel and Shuster,
devastated by the loss of the Superman suit and fearing DC's
legal might, settled by selling the rights to Superboy back to DC
for $100,000. In addition, so bad were feelings surrounding the
lawsuit that their names were removed from the credits.

Siegel and Shuster continued to struggle financially for the next
20 years, with Siegel trying yet another unsuccessful legal bid
to regain copyright to Superman in 1966. In the 70s, with the
first Christopher Reeve Superman film coming out, and both men
living on welfare, a grassroots campaign spearheaded by Neal
Adams began to get the pair some recognition. Thanks to the
efforts of a more sympathetic regime at DC, Siegel and Shuster's
names were restored to Superman's credits and they were given a
modest pension.

Cut to more recent history. In 1998, Joanne Siegel and Laura
Siegel Larson (widow and daughter of Jerome, respectively) filed
to terminate the copyright assignment of Superman to DC.
Termination of copyright is part of the 1978 Copyright Act,
specifically Section 304 (c), and was created to protect the
rights of authors who had made disadvantageous deals.

Basically, the law states that authors or their heirs have a five
year window to file for the termination of copyright assignment
starting 35 years from the assignment.

(Superman's creation does not fall under work-for-hire, as all
courts have agreed that Siegel and Shuster came up with the
character independently. It's the original 1938 sale which has
been upheld all these years. However, this still means that it
was originally their copyright to assign, hence the potential
ability to terminate the agreement.)

Legally speaking, if the Siegels' copyright termination to
Superman were upheld, they would be entitled to 50% of all the
profits of Superman since the revocation took effect on April 16,
1999.

Since the filing was made public, little has been reported about
negotiations, which are ongoing. Time Warner is understandably
less then eager to give up half the rights and profits to one of
their most recognizable characters, who is even now being readied
for a return to the big screen under director Bryan Singer.
Should the copyright termination stand, the Siegel family would
be entitled to a huge chunk of the profits from the upcoming
movie.

While the Superman claim remains mired in legal red tape, the
Superboy claim appears to be a bit more clear cut - Siegel and
Shuster were granted ownership of the character in the 1947
decision, and their subsequent sale of the character to DC would
come under the jurisdiction of Section 304 of the copyright law.

For everyone who has a headache after all this legal talk, the
question may be, what's the bottom line: well, here's one word
for you: SMALLVILLE, an enormously successful show about a young
Clark Kent, who is about to become Superboy. Should the copyright
termination stand, DC could be forced to make a very large
payment to the Siegel family.

The story of Siegel and Shuster and how they sold away a multi-
million dollar character for pennies remains almost as mythic as
the superman they created. Their tale informs the Pulitzer Prize
winning THE ADVENTURES OF CAVALIER AND CLAY, and several comics
stories, including Rick Veitch's THE MAXIMORTAL. Indeed, so
notorious is the story that it is often cited in discussions of
copyright law. Thanks to that same law, as arcane as it may be to
the layman, it's possible that the heirs of Siegel and Shuster
have one more chance to regain the characters they have been
fighting for for over 50 years.

SMALLVILLE UPDATE

Michael Ironside is playing General Sam Lane in The WB's
Smallville, The Continuum has learned.

The general, of course, is the father of Lois Lane, played by
Erica Durance for 13 episodes of the fourth season.

"You get to see that father-daughter dynamic played out, which is
something we haven't really done on the show before," executive
producer Al Gough said during the recent Smallville panel at
Comic-Con International. "We've had a lot of fathers and sons,
but never any fathers and daughters."

Ironside, 54, has more than 125 film and television credits. He
is no stranger to the DC Comics Universe, having performed the
voice of Darkseid in both the Superman and Justice League
animated series.

In other Smallville news:
 At Comic-Con, DC Comics passed out a postcard featuring the
show's debut on ABC Family this fall.
 The Wednesday, Aug. 18 episodes on The WB will be "Delete" and
"Velocity."
 Executive producer Miles Millar will be directing an episode
again this season.
