Gaiman and MacFarlane are now officially co-copyright holders in some of the Spawn characters. Gaiman also clarifies that MacFarlane probably does not hold any interests in the Miracleman/Marvelman character.

  2. This is really ironic considering one of the first Spawn issues (#8, I think) that Todd did hand-to-hand with Dave Sims, which was a metaphore regarding comic characters copyright issues…

    That comic hasn’t been rereleased in trade paperbacks later (at least here in Spain)
