I've wanted to read Bug since I've learned it existed, but I'm still making my way through Micronauts, so I gotta pace myself. It's really nice to see Bill surrounded by gifts from his admirers. I hope he knows how much he is loved by his fans.Rick Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404030434015887810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-10795465808049107502013-11-15T16:55:20.128-08:002013-11-15T16:55:20.128-08:00good question but i'm pretty sure in almost al...good question but i'm pretty sure in almost all cases the characters that writers and artists come up with for use of projects they get paid for become properties of the publishing company.Shlomo Ben Hungstienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238927958290618109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-20960192248829866702013-11-15T14:44:09.575-08:002013-11-15T14:44:09.575-08:00Well I've done some research on this Jack of H...Well I've done some research on this Jack of Hearts fellow,..I know I'm preaching to the converted but HE WAS AWESOME!!<br />I didn't know much of anything about this guy until Shlomo stared breaking it down to me. WOW. Hats off to Shlomo for once again introducing me to some awesome, new, Bill Mantlo stuff. Mantlo's creations are so next level, outside the box. I couldn't believe the history Jack of Hearts had and that he was so powerful. He seems a critical part of the Avengers history in my opinion. I'm just surprised that Marvel allowed a character created by Bill Mantlo to actually survive until 2004, and become a pivotal character in one of their main franchises like the Avengers. By the way if they put Rocket Raccoon in that Guardians of the Galaxy movie does Bill get ANY money out of that or what?<br />Sorry if thats a stupid question but I have to know. exhumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794129799713628468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-60252317629918339262013-11-15T14:33:50.344-08:002013-11-15T14:33:50.344-08:00Maybe he did, and now it's a robot in his plac...Maybe he did, and now it's a robot in his place.
