Zenith collection for sale

[davidbishop]

As part of my ongoing quest to make cash and reclaim the floor of my office, I'm flogging a bunch of comics on eBay. First six issues of Diggle & Jock's Losers, original four-issue 1986 Dark Knight mini-series by Frank Miller, original five-issue 300 mini-series by Miller, a few other bits and bobs [Cerebus Number Zero gold ink logo with Dave Sim sketch inside, that kind of thing].

For 2000 AD readers, the best lot is 79 progs collecting every Grant Morrison & Steve Yeowell episode of Zenith. All four phases [incuding the never reprinted full colour Phase IV], the two interludes between Phases I & II, and zzzenith.com in Prog 2001.

The only Zenith stories missing were in annuals or specials, and didn't feature Yeowell artwork.

Bearing in mind the legal dispute that stymies efforts to reprint Zenith, this is golden opportunity to get all of Zenith in one lot.

Enough hype, here's the URL:

D'uh! Apologies for the double post.

How about selling signed plates to go in TPO? ;)

[COMMANDO FORCES]

That sounds good to me!

[VampiraJen]

why is there issues over reprinting it?

[Tiplodocus]

Oooh - Zenith is great stuff.  And I particularly liked the way it never went on beyond it's natural life span.

Rights/legal wrangling between Morrison and Rebellion. I suspect the same reason has stopped any Luke Kirby reprints, too.

zzzenith.com in Prog 2001

You want to be plugging that on Barbelith.com Bish. Truly, home of people more fanatical about Mozzer than even his mum.

I would do, but membership is by invitation only, so I can't post to the forum. Besides, I hate gits who appear on a forum just to flog their eBay auctions.

[Self-loathing's big in my house.]

Heh, fair enough. I don't recall it being invitation - they'd never have invited me!

Exactly what are the legal problems that prevent Zenith being reprinted, anyway?

And could they be resolved if we just killed a few people?

IIRC, Morrison claims he owns the rights, due to never signing them over at the time. Rebellion disagrees, presumably on the basis that all 2000 AD freelancers were working on a typical work-for-hire/freelance model, where content and copyright are automatically signed over upon submission of work and/or receipt of payment.

Thanks for the answer.

So presumably all we have to do, as I suspected, is kill Morrison and his entire estate, and problem solved.
