Créateurs de comics, droits, royalties et perspectives - La question des droits des créateurs de comics en ce qui concerne leurs créations est pratiquement aussi vieille que les comics eux-mêmes et n'a rien perdu de son actualité. Découvrez les circonstances du "crime originel", des manigances qui ont fait que, aujourd'hui encore, des milliers de scénaristes et artistes ou de familles d'héritiers sont obligés de battre pour un peu de reconnaissance et une participation (parfois symbolique, quand elle existe) aux bénéfices. L'univers des comics est en effet majoritairement construit sur une injustice... Et même les tentatives en apparence plus généreuses de certains auteurs peuvent se révéler semées d'embûches et de vices cachés.
