Hey Kids,, Comics! #179 - Comic Book Capers: The Copyists

The show must go on!  Even if it is weeks late.

Welcome back to the interrupted story arc, "Comic Book Capers".  After too long a hiatus (and two movie review shows as filler), Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston have returned!

This time they brought a friend, none other than artist Thomas Branch!  Continuing the coverage of real life legal battles and illegal actions surrounding comic books and their creators, this week's discussion is about those who copy the work of others to present or sell as their own.

This practice is becoming all to common and hurts all artist, especially those who are Artist Alley creators who do amazing work with their own hands and reserves of talent only to have some hack print out images from the internet with signatures swapped digitally.
