#ComicsBrokeMe This is Jack Kirby. Co-creator of Xmen, Thor, Captain America, Avengers, Fantastic Four ,Eternals, New Gods and so much more. Rumor has it he struggled financially. His creations make billions. In my eyes thats a sin. I trade stocks. All my creations I will own.

Absolutely disgusting.

#ComicsBrokeMe It has always been this way. If you need proof that The Comic Book industry does not give a damn about it's creators. Look no further than Joe Shuster, The Co-creator of SUPERMAN. DC made millions while he struggled through poverty, and died indebt.
For people who didn't see the thread bsmygod posted about #ComicsBrokeMe before it was deleted, it's worse than I expected it to be honestly
