Spawn v. Sandman, Heard by Posner
When this opinion comes out, I've got to read it.
It appears that while I've not been looking Neil Gaiman has sued Todd MacFarlane for violation of contract, among other things. For those of you who don't keep up with comics, Gaiman is author of Sandman (artsy, gets strong reviews in places like the New York Times, largely responsible for putting comics into 'the better class of literature'), while Todd MacFarlane is mostly know for Spawn (violent, brooding, largely responsible for rehabilitating the angry, violent anti-hero). I'll tell you more when I get the time to read more about it, but here's a link to the 7th Circuit page about the case. It should be worth a smile, at the very least.
