As a result, comics creators are frequently concerned about whether they are protecting themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e There are many questions and no single place to find the answers--that is, until now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Entertaining as it instructs, this book seeks to provide those answers, examining the legal history of comics and presenting information in a way that is understandable to everyone. While not seeking to provide legal advice, this book presents the legal background in plain English, and looks at the stories behind the cases. Every lawsuit has a story and every case has lessons to be learned. As these lessons are explored, the reader will learn the importance of contracts, the basics of copyright and trademark, the precautions necessary when working with public domain characters and the effects of censorship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46486636691607,"sku":"9780786473601","price":3228.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780786473601.jpg?v=1766331321","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-law-for-comic-book-creators-essential-concepts-and-applications-9780786473601","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
