In that time I've been hard at work on the next comic from the Spy Guy universe.

Creator's Rights

Back in 1988 a group of comic creators got together to discuss the issue of Creator's Rights.

The summit was instigated by Dave Sim in an attempt to define the ethical boundaries in selling his first printing of High Society direct, bypassing the distributor.

As a result of the summit, Scott McCloud came up with a "final draft".

One month later, Dave Sim responded.
