Graphic novels and comics have emerged as powerful mediums that have shaped and influenced contemporary popular culture worldwide. This second edition of Comic Art, Creativity, and the Law delves into the intricate interplay between law and comics, offering a comprehensive analysis of the significant developments that have occurred in this field. Authored by Marc H. Greenberg, the book explores the profound impact of contract law, copyright law (including termination rights, parody, and character ownership), tax law, and obscenity law on the creative process of comic art.
Through a detailed examination of these legal frameworks, Greenberg examines how they both enhance and constrain the artistic expression of comic art. He sheds light on the often inconsistent and incoherent application of these laws, which has had a profound effect on the lives of creators, retailers, and readers alike. The book is extensively revised and updated, featuring new chapters that delve into critical areas such as copyright work-for-hire and fair use doctrines, the intersection of law and fan-based creations (including fan fiction, fan art, fan films, and cosplay), as well as a comprehensive chapter on licensing comics for motion pictures and television.
Designed for academics, practitioners, students of law, and enthusiasts of comic art, this book serves as a valuable resource for understanding the complex dynamics between law and creativity. It offers insightful proposals for changes in the laws that hinder the creative process, while also providing a glimpse into the future of comic art and the law.
In conclusion, Graphic Art, Creativity, and the Law is a groundbreaking work that sheds light on the intricate relationship between law and comics. Through its comprehensive analysis and thoughtful proposals, the book empowers creators, practitioners, and fans alike to navigate the legal landscape and advocate for a more inclusive and supportive environment for comic art. As the field continues to evolve and expand, this book will remain a vital resource for anyone interested in the intersection of law and creativity.
