Harlan Ellison/Fantagraphics Book Dispute Settled June 29
It appears that the most recent dispute between Harlan Ellison and comics publisher Fantagraphics Books has come to a successful resolution. While no details have been released at this time, and both parties will release details at some point in the future, both parties released statments that read “THE LITIGATION BETWEEN THE PARTIES HAS BEEN RESOLVED.”
At some point I may gather together information on the about this recent lawsuit and ad it to an updated Harlan Ellison & Fantagraphics Books essay on the Bibliography site, for now please enjoy these links from the very well done news site The Comics Reporter. I felt that they did a good job of reporting on this process in an impartial manner (although I know that Mr. Ellison disagreed, as seen in the Feb. 16th link below). There can be argued to be a conflict of interests, as Comics Reporter editor Tom Spurgeon did edit the book that is one of the items at the center of the dispute, but the links below are provided to allow some timeline of events:
