I genuinely wish that one day would go by this month without Big Comics pulling some shitty reprehensible stroke. Christ, poor Gary Friedrich. $17K is a drop in the water to Disney, but a matter of life-and-death to an out of work freelance writer.
As we all probably know, this blog has a special relationship with Ghost Rider. Just what the hell next? Chasing Alan Vega and Martin Rev down for the royalties from their first album?
Update: if you would like to donate some money to Gary, Steve Niles has started a Paypal link over at his blog, alongside a note from Friedrich expressing his desire to fight on.
Further update: McConnell Art have been running fund-raising auctions.

So Marvel didn't actually win their legal argument, they just bankrupted Friedrich into settling a counter-suit?
That throws suspicion upon the validity of their claims of full ownership, for my money. Friedrich's loophole seems an oddly specific one to have just pulled out of his arse.
I had been tempted to check out the new Ghost Rider flick, decided to denote my ticket money to this instead. Thanks for the link Mark.
