man" Lee has been fighting his personal battle with His life long employer, Marvel Comics. Stan is probably one ofrepparttar most well known character creators inrepparttar 134979 comic book industry. He has characters like Batman, Spider-Man andrepparttar 134980 Hulk credited to his creative imagination. Seems Stan had a contractual agreement with Marvel for 10% of any revenue acquired by Marvel from movies and TV projects centered on Stan characters. But apparentlyrepparttar 134981 high dollar superstructure ofrepparttar 134982 corporate mind doesn't want to part with all their income. Now this is nothing new, but Stan Lee managed to win repparttar 134983 first round forrepparttar 134984 little guy. The judge presiding over Stan's case agreed that Stan should receive his share ofrepparttar 134985 agreed on profits. Now maybe Stan will get his share and maybe he won't. Sounds like Marvel will be appealingrepparttar 134986 decision. At any rate, if there weren't big bucks involved inrepparttar 134987 production of comic book Superhero movies, this case would not have been such an issue.

I believerepparttar 134988 near future is going to bring many more of my favorite heroes torepparttar 134989 silver screen. I have already started my own DVD collection and as more heroes get transferred fromrepparttar 134990 screen to round disc, I will continue to increaserepparttar 134991 size of my collection. Do you think a DVD superhero collection will be worth as much as a comic book collection inrepparttar 134992 future? Probably not, but that won't stop me from building my collection anyway.
