SDCC: Marvel Buys Marvelman
Marvel announced at SDCC that they've bought Marvelman (better known as Miracleman in the states) from creator Mick Anglo. 1 image under the cut.

More at CBR here and here and Newsarama.

So how long before they bring him into the MU?

	They would have to clear the publication of his stuff with him, I believe (possibly they already have; we don't have a lot of detail); which would involve a financial settlement with Moore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Moore bequeathed his share to Neil Gaiman, though I'm assuming Moore, Veitch, Totleben et al retained their rights to their specific contributions.

I have a hard time believing, especially after the legal fight he waged against MacFarlane over the matter, that Gaiman would do something so insensitive to the man who got him started in comics. Which dealing at all with Marvel in this particular matter would entail. Not only does Gaiman scrupulously avoid ever offending anyone if he can help it, I mean...come on. That would just feel vile. And it's a shame because I'll bet it would enable him to finish his part of it.

I can see Gaiman simply staying out of it altogether. It's really a rather awkward situation this accidentally puts him in.

	Gaiman helped negotiate the deal, from what I understand, so it's extremely likely he will be involved. (Reply to this) (Parent)
