So the heirs of Jerry Siegel have been awarded copyright of Action Comics #1. Lots of people seem to be freaking out about this. And it bothers me not one bit. Is DC gonna quit publishing Superman comics? Are the Siegels going to start publishing their own Superman comics in competition with DC? The answers to both questions are pretty obviously NO. Read this for some solid facts and info. This is nothing to get worried about, and it’s probably past time that the Siegel family got some of the money that the company owed their dad. This isn’t an injustice at all, and the Siegels aren’t the bad guys. This is a simple business dispute, and it’ll be resolved behind the scenes where it won’t affect our comics one smidgen.
