Top 10 Influential Marvel Comic Book Artists
http://bit.ly/1K8HQ5z

One of the oldest debates surrounding American comic books is the issue of creator ownership and rights. For decades, writers and artists either worked on a for-hire basis or sold their work directly to the publisher before publication.

If an artist created a popular superhero, they would receive nothing if that character would go on to star in a movie that made millions of dollars.
