It would be nice if Marvel/Disney and Hasbro would recognize his contributions to the properties and his current unfortunate condition and realize that they have an ethical and moral responsibility to show some fairness.

The more people are made aware of the classless tactics used by comics companies to screw creators out of just compensation, the better the chance that future creators will regain control over their creations' usage. I don't believe reparations will ever be made for those that helped build the industry to the heights it now enjoys, but it would be nice if justice were finally done. At the very least, creators might finally receive the credit that's been denied them for far too long! Great post, Gerry!
