      Ditko (1927-2018) never sued Marvel when he as alive because he had weird Randian (as in Ayn Rand) hangups. Fortunately his estate isn't so shackled by mind-forged manacles.

      A useful clarification. Looks like Ditko estate is pursuing strategy to get Marvel to settle. Good luck to them! Ditko created a character worth billions and only ever got a freelancers payment for first publication.https://twitter.com/KurtBusiek/status/1441187617131749380 …

      Not a lawsuit, but a termination of grant as per the rules of copyright law. Which is what the Kirbys did. Marvel/Disney sued the Kirbys, which resulted in a countersuit. But given how that ended up, they may seek a settlement first. Which, I’d guess, is what the estate wants.

      I deleted this because I didn't want to cause confusion. Ditko estate is making a termination of grant, which will force Marvel to either counter-sue or (more likely) settle. Which means Ditko estate will get $$ for Spider-Man.https://twitter.com/KurtBusiek/status/1441187617131749380 …

      In an earlier thread I explored how Ditko's Randian beliefs led him to refrain from suing Marvel, despite the fact they had clearly broken promises made to him when he created Spider-Man.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/794007814595190784 …

      1. Steve Ditko, the co-creator of Spider-Man & Dr. Strange, is 89 years old today & still producing gonzo comics.

          Further news: Steve Ditko estate filing grant of termination for Dr. Strange (which, to be honest, Ditko 100% created) as well as Spider-Man.https://twitter.com/bobh1970/status/1441190889611726848 …
