Dispute over Spiderman ownership

An internet publishing firm is taking legal action against comic book company Marvel, claiming part-ownership of superheroes such as Spider-Man.

Associated Press reported the case was filed in New York last week by Stan Lee Media, a company originally co-founded by Spider-Man creator Stan Lee.

Now under new ownership, the firm claims Lee signed away rights to his famous comic book creations in 1998.

Marvel deemed the legal action "without merit", while Lee called it "baseless".

"I do not support this action and believe the suit to be baseless," said a statement released on behalf of the 84-year-old Lee by Marvel.

oh great now spidey gonna die too...


OH MY F**KING GOD I BROKE MY PANCREAS FROM LAUGHING TOO HARD. ROFL.
What can you do to end the hunger?
It's no surprise that many will die with the coming shortage of food
When there is no grain to feed the butchered cows
When there is nothing to feed yourselves...
Then you will see that money can't be eaten.

That's a load of bull. Especially if Stan Lee himself thinks so.

don't really know much of the history of what drove stan to form that foundation...but remember, at one point, comics seemed to be a dying breed.  Things were bleek for Marvel....then of course the onslaught of movies began....and they aren't so bleek anymore. 
I'd believe u if you were right.
