A Look Inside Comic Art, Creativity and the Law, Presented by Professor Marc Greenberg
Two Options to Attend: In-Person and Live Webinar. Click here to register.
In his recently published book, Comic Art, Creativity and the Law (Elgar Publishing 2014), Prof. Marc Greenberg examines how an array of legal doctrines and policies affect the creative process used to create works of comic art, which include comic books, graphic novels, comic strips and cartoons. He finds impact on the creative process in cases involving tax law, obscenity law, copyright and contract law. In this presentation, Prof. Greenberg will explore the impact copyright’s “work-for-hire” doctrine, and obscenity laws, have had on comic art ranging from underground comics to mainstream superhero works.
