DC Comics check auction

Postby Silver_Surfer1 » Mon Mar 26, '12, 10:47 pm

A DC Comics check is up for auction, and what an important check it is:

Anyone else find it hard to believe that this check sat in a drawer for over 35 years????

Wow, I'll bet the auction bid price is high on this collector's item!!

I'm surprised it hasn't been called up as evidence in one of the several lawsuits between DC and the heirs of Superman's creators. That's understandable if it was really lost in a drawer, but it seems like it would be a major document in those cases that were debating what DC paid those guys. It's certainly a rare and unique piece of comic history, though.

Saw some news today on the above mentioned lawsuits between DC Comics and the heirs of creators of Superman...a Judge has ruled in favor of DC Comics:

Now, I wonder if this will put an end to the lawsuits or if there will be appeals!!

I'm sure there will be appeal attempts, if possible. This only settles half the ownership of Superman, anyway. The other co-creator's family is still pursing their claim on half the rights.
