Reddit mentions of Poisoned Chalice: The Extremely Long and Incredibly Complex Story of Marvelman (and Miracleman)

Wow, that whole thing is way more complicated than I had realized. You should write a Poisoned Chalice style book about Supreme!

Me-On-My-Soapbox Time - why is it that the actual creators of comics, like the writers and artists who actually make the damn things, so often get the shit end of the stick?

I mean, I understand that printing and advertising and distribution (and all the stuff the publishers do) is important, of course, but comics is such a different medium than something like movies or TV.

For instance, the catering bill alone for a film production is astronomical, but with comics there's virtually no overhead. It's usually one-to-five people putting their heart into a project, producing the entirety of the thing that people actually hold in their hands and consume, yet those people are often the ones who get the smallest chunk of the reward (or just swindled altogether).

Sorry, rant over.

Thanks for the info on Supreme - you're basically the leading world expert on the topic, as far as I'm concerned.
