Comic Art, Creativity and the Law

This book examines the impact of copyright law, contract law, tax law, and obscenity law on the genre of comic art. Focusing on sometimes-conflicting case law regarding parody, Mark H. Greenberg takes a close look at how the law inhibits the creative process for comic artists, comic book writers, publishers, and retailers. Comic Art, Creativity and the Law looks at the history of comic art, creativity and the law, and how comic art is impacted by the law in the international marketplace, and the emerging digital landscape. Mark Greenburg, is a Professor of Law at Golden Gate University School of Law. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
