	Barbelith Underground > Comic Books > Miracleman - The Plot Thickens
		It is unknown whether Dez Skinn actually bought the rights to Miracleman from Mick Anglo, or if he just assumed that the rights were up in the air and picked them up for nothing.
		Either way, there is the possibility that Dez Skinn never actually had the rights to Miracleman, and therefore neither did Moore, Gaiman, McFarlane, or any of the other creators on this project.
		Dez skinn in his current comics magazine Comics International stated earlier this year that he paid Mick Angelo a reprint fee for the work of his reprinted but didn't pay to use the character assuming ownership through use or a slightly visually different marvelman.

	Hypotheticals 2000 - Year 1
		As always, the panelists were assured that their comments would not be reported and I've honoured that; what you see are the questions, not the responses.
		Although everyone was superb on the panel (with the notable exception of yours truly who was having too good a time to worry about what I'd say) Marcia really rose to the fore, since she was really being thrown hypotheticals that she no doubt had never considered...
		So, Alan for example may be asked to say what he'd do if he was a new writer in the industry instead of the seasoned veteran that he is. Dez may be asked to say what he'd do if he was an editor on the end of the phone from a particularly dogged reporter...

	All The Rage: Disestablishmentarianism
		This rumour was dumped on as Skinn repeatedly denied it was true, and the stakes between Gaiman/McFarlane went up - which of course they wouldn't do if there was only a husk property to fight over.
		Now Dez Skinn has announced that he's just unearthed those original documents, coincidentally in the same month that Todd and Neil's lawyers start throwing things at each other, and states that, yes, the contracts clearly show a three year reversion clause.
		Dez has both Todd, Joe and Neil by the short and curlies.

	MILE HIGH COMICS presents THE BEAT at COMICON.com: Brighton Beach Memories
		In a dogged and unwavering attempt to combat this recession, Dez Skinn, the show’s chief organizer, decided to publicise the show on a scale not before seen by us Brits: street banners, free comics and 50,000 flyers were distributed prior to the show, as well as a huge multi-media advertising campaign.
		However, despite all of the hard work implemented by Dez and his entire Expo team, the proficient layout of the show, and even the commendable guest list (well, those of them who showed up, anyway), the attendance didn’t offer the organizers the reward they deserved.
		This wasn’t to say that the event wasn’t any good, of course; right up until the Expo’s climax Dez and co. were working behind (and indeed in front) of the scenes, ensuring that everything ran as smoothly as possible, yet it still seemed the time and effort incorporated into the show wasn’t aptly compensated.

		In the 80's UK publisher Dez Skinn read an interview where Alan Moore mentioned he wouldn't mind writing Marvel Man. From here Dez Skinn believes that Miracle Man is in public domain and quickly moves into action.

		Dez also says that there is a surviving son of the L. Miller & Sons company.

		So, in the early Eighties, when Dez Skinn commissioned me to start work on a new title called Warrior — I assumed it was another pipe-dream.
		When the first few issues of Warrior were in preparation, I was visiting Dez Skinn’s editorial bullpit on a regular basis.
		Through the combined efforts of Dez Skinn and the writers and artists of Warrior, the doors of the cottage industry had been well and truly breeched.

		Lloyd suggested Alan Moore could write the serial, originally conceived by Skinn as mystery set in the 1930's.
		Dez Skinn came up with the title "V for Vendetta", and it was Lloyd who first suggested dressing V up as Guy Fawkes.

	COMICON.com: COMICS TRIAL OF THE CENTURY (GAIMAN vs MCFARLANE) BEGINS TODAY
		Miracleman's ownership is in dispute, but the short version is that it is a 3-way tango between Eclipse/McFarlane, Gaiman and (possibly) Dez Skinn, who originally published the character in England.
		If Dez Skinn's allegations are true, and there was a reversion clause, then Eclipse owned a husk property and the real majority owner is Garry Leach, with Alan Moore/Neil Gaiman/Mark Buckingham and Dez Skinn as minority owners.
		Dez Skinn, publisher of the hot comic anthology 2000 A.D., read an interview with Alan where he had said he wouldn't mind having a crack at the Marvelman character.

	Emerald City: Science Fiction and Fantasy Book Reviews - #124
		Dez Skinn, the brains behind industry magazine, Comics International, had an idea for a Brighton Comics Expo — sort of like a ‘Second Foundation’ to Bristol’s ‘First’, at the opposite end of the year and nearly the other side of the country.
		This was aside from the ‘goody bag’ that came with the price of entrance, including a helpful souvenir program, thinly disguised Forbidden Planet catalogue, two free issues of 2000AD (but of course!), and various other pieces of reading matter.
		There was a varied schedule of events, too: Dave Gibbons chatting with Dez Skinn was an early highlight, both on good form, bouncing mutual anecdotes off each other.

	An Earth-18 Timeline
		Earth 18A contains a jigsaw-like continuity developed by Dez Skinn, as well as some Warrior strips which are incompatible with the main line.
		Dez Skinn had plans to obtain for Warrior the rights to Louis Crandell, the Steel Claw, at one point, intending that if he failed he would rework the character, renaming him Lewis Randell, the Talon.
		For reasons which are unclear to me, in the original Quality-sponsored Steel Claw reprint series he was renamed Lewis Randell.

	DVD Talk Forum - View Single Post - Gaiman beats McFarlane; Posner describes Spawn
		Of course, it's not clear what rights he did have -- Dez Skinn, the original British publisher of Moore and Gaiman's Miracleman claims that any rights Eclipse (McFarlane's claim to Miracleman is that he bought Eclipse, the U.S. publisher of Miracleman) may once have had reverted to Skinn before McFalrane bought Eclipse.
		Then there's an argument that Skinn never had any rights, either, and that the rights belong to whoever published Miracleman back in the 1950s.
		The point is, Miracleman is still a convoluted mess, but this ruling confirms that McFarlane is now Gaiman's man-whore, so to the extent Gaiman needs to twist McFarlane's arm, he's got lots of leverage to do so.

	Moore - Miracleman creator ownership (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Marvelman (became Miracleman when it was printed in the US) was an available property in the eighties.
		Alan Moore and Garry Leach and Dez Skinn each retained 1/3 of the copyright.
		Alan Davis (replaced Leach as artist) asked to have a part, and so Dez Skinn gave him 3% from each plus 15% I think from his share - leaving Moore with 30% and Garry Leach with 30%.

	Gaimans next Marvel project is...might be...Miracle Man? - The Superhero Hype! Boards (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Marvel have repeatedly stated their intention to publish Marvelman, the series created by Alan Moore, Garry Leach and Dez Skinn, based on the popular 1950's British superhero comic, itself based on the Fawcett Captain Marvel series.
		The revival appeared first in "Warrior," an anthology magazine by Dez Skinn that not only brought Alan Moore to prominence with "Marvelman," "V For Vendetta" and "BoJeffries Saga," but also gave opportunities for increased exposure to the likes of Garry Leach, Alan Davis, Grant Morrison, Brian Bolland and more.
		Indeed that latter case clarified a much supported rumour that Todd's supposed ownership of Marvelman/Miracleman was based on an Eclipse contract he acquired when he bought the company - but that it had a reversion clause that returned ownership to previous owners.

	Creator's Rights :: View topic - Sim & Todd's "Man of Miracles" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		This event, and Dez Skinn's involvement, is absolutely critical to the entire Mick Anglo MARVELMAN ownership issue.
		Thus, I've little confidence in the merits of the Eclipse/McFarlane chain of ownership (if that's what it is), founded as it is upon the reportedly dubious Dez Skinn chain of ownership.
		As I stated (and you agreed), it seems to me that Dez Skinn is the key to the WARRIOR lineage; in all versions of this I've heard and read, it was Dez's claims that initiated the entire MARVELMAN resurrection, prompting the original 'revival' creators to work on the character believing they did so legally.

		Ex-editorial director of Marvel UK—where his Stan Lee-coined Sez Dez column had a monthly audience of over 500,000—he has also edited titles including Buster, MAD, Star Wars Weekly, 2000 AD Presents, Rogue Trooper, Conan and Spider-Man and won over 20 Eagle Awards.
		I MUST confess I'm not awfully technically minded, having a Heath Robinson approach when it comes to DIY and fixing things.

	The Annotated Marvelman
		Alan Moore and Alan Davis redesigned the character, stripping away the white belt, Wolverine-like 'clock arms' and the Cobblepot-like flying technique of the hover brolly as well as casting the original 1974 adventure as a government-induced hallucination.
		Warrior fans were further confused by Dez Skinn's "Big Ben" strip which premiered several months later, which featured a shapechanging alien who wore the Big Ben costume...
		He calls himself the British Bulldog now and has acquired a reputation truly Herculean." - or, more likely, feeling his costume and name were copyrighted by Dez Skinn, he had a new one made, assuming a new name which wouldn't result in a lawsuit.

	MAD Mumblings :: View topic - EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH DAVID ROBINSON:
		Ron had elected to take on the editorial role himself rather than,for instance,keeping on Dez Skinn,the editor until the point of takeover.This may have been a mistake,in that Dez had a network of contacts among UK artists & writers.
		This is not what I meant to convey.Ron & Dez are old acquaintances & Dez still sends complimentary copies of 'Comics International' to Ron.
		Ron & Dez both worked at Warner,which ran UK MAD at the time,but in different areas so far as I can make out.Dez was the Editor,fairly successfully as already recorded,& Ron was more on the side of production & distribution; his main strengths.
