Description
Our guest today is Dirk Vanover, a lawyer with extensive experience in the entertainment sector and in helping protect comic creators. He also authors a helpful blog called comicslawyer.com and has written a book called Comics Startup 101 that’s free to read via Amazon Kindle. With Dirk, we demystify what a comic lawyer actually does, talk through why it’s important to consult a lawyer as a creator, and talk through where you can get legal help, even for free.
One free legal resource that Dirk mentioned is Lawyers for Creative Arts https://law-arts.org/, which he's a part of. Don't be afraid to reach out and consult if you think you need legal help and are financially constrained.
We didn’t get to Dirk’s top 3 comics on the podcast, but he tells us it’s collected work of Claremont’s X-Men run, The Death of Superman, and Invincible.
