    Post CBR: Steve Ditko Estate Attempts to Reclaim Spider-Man, Doctor Strange Copyright

    The estate of comic legend Steve Ditko is attempting to reclaim copyright on Ditko's co-creations, Spider-Man and Doctor Strange, from Marvel Comics.

    By Brian Cronin

    The estate of comic book legend Steve Ditko has filed notice of termination with the United States Copyright Office with regards to the copyrights of Spider-Man and Doctor Strange that are currently held by Marvel Entertainment. Ditko, as the co-creator of both of the characters, is attempting to use a right introduced in the 1976 Copyright Act that allows creators to terminate copyrights of works that the creators had previously assigned to another person or entity.

    If this isn't dropped in a few months and we don't see DISNEY LEGEND STEVE DITKO emblazoned around the next investors meeting, colour me shocked.

    I'm intrigued about how this will turn out.

    This is very interesting.

    I'm not going to give any opinion on this because Spider-man's creation has been mired in a lot of controversy.

    Ultimately, I suspect Marvel/Disney will settle the Ditko estate.
