(via ICv2 - ‘Ghost Rider’ Creator Owes Marvel $17 Grand)
Late last year Federal District Judge Katherine B. Forrest ruled against writer Gary Friedrich, who created the Ghost Rider character back in 1972 and had sued Marvel Entertainment/Disney in an effort to get a share of revenues from movies and merchandise based on his creation (see “Marvel Owns Ghost Rider”). As part of its legal defense Marvel had filed a counter claim seeking revenue that Friedrich had earned from selling Ghost Rider prints and merchandise at conventions, and that claim as well went in Marvel’s favor.
THIS IS BULLSHIT.
