He's entitled to whatever is in the contract. If he signed it all over to Kirkman, then too bad.

Exactly.

Maybe if Moore didn't take so fucking long, he'd be a little richer.

I think the argument is that Kirkman intentionally decieved him.

If it's not documented anywhere, I don't see how Moore can win the argument.

How do you prove that?

And that still comes down to reading your contract, and making sure you know what you are signing over, and all the risks that come with that.

If I lived anywhere near there I would. Pick up some of those exclusive covers and you can score on the eBays too.

It's not like he made some elaborate iconic designs or anything.

5 %, since he drew so few issues.
