A new courtroom opinion has awarded the heirs of Superman co - creatorJerry Siegelthe right hand to more report than the previous originalAction Comics#1 appearance . Does this increase the possibleness of DC Comics losing control of the character ?
The opinion comes as the resolution of comic historianDenis Kitchenproviding evidence ( first mentionedas a comment in response to a blog spot at laughable land site Newsarama.com ) that more piece of work than just the original Superman story was created prior to DC ’s purchase of publication right to the character . While Judge Stephen Larson did n’t award the Siegel heirs everything they were hoping for , a pregnant chunk of the role ’s initial appearances have now shifted to their favor :
At the conclusion of this final installment regarding the publication history of and the right to the iconic comic Bible superhero Superman , the Court finds that plaintiffs have successfully recaptured ( and are cobalt - owners of ) the rights to the following works : ( 1 ) Action Comics No . 1 ( dependent to the limitations set forth in the Court ’s old Order ) ; ( 2 ) Action Comics No . 4 ; ( 3 ) Superman No . 1 , pages three through six , and ( 4 ) the initial two week ’ worth of Superman day-by-day newspaper strips . Ownership in the residue of the Superman material at issue that was published from 1938 to 1943 remains only with suspect .
Whether this impacts any other cases surrounding the rights to the Man of Steel and his universe stay to be seen .
