It bums me out when I'm at Target and see a t-shirt with Jack Kirby art (happened just the other day), and think about what a bum deal he got. And then you hear about some of these guys holding fundraisers or selling original art/sketches to pay medical bills.Josh Blairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14201967216036111365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726742103634035714.post-56889084510681228332012-01-31T08:50:14.740-08:002012-01-31T08:50:14.740-08:00I agree with Josh!I agree with Josh!Anthony Vukojevichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02768458666896532230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726742103634035714.post-38701739712462542282012-01-30T16:13:46.885-08:002012-01-30T16:13:46.885-08:00Which I guess proves your point.

It seems like unless you are a mainstream super hero guy, you have to work all of the revenue streams just to pay rent. That's my fantasy anyway. I've never made more than a few thousand a year in comics. I couldn't even pay my electricity bill.Robert Goodinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12578493704682972069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726742103634035714.post-41138054524062318872012-01-30T15:52:03.709-08:002012-01-30T15:52:03.709-08:00I wish we lived in a world where Fred Hembeck didn...I wish we lived in a world where Fred Hembeck didn't have to sell art on eBay to make money.
