I would love to know what you consider "fair value."

To: Warner Bros., Inc., DC Comics, Inc., and Dan Didio
Since you have no further plans to utilize any of these great, historical characters, please sell the rights to the characters you acquired from both Fawcett Publications and Quality Comics, including the publishing rights, to Cynthia Finnegan. She loves the characters, understands how they work best, something DC has not understood since 1986, and is offering you a better than fair price for them.

For more information on this offer, please refer to http://www.fawcettuniverse.com/historama/index.php

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

I would too, but consider this:

Disney bought Marvel for $4 billion ($4,000,000,000)

According to the NY Times it paid that sum for the rights to 5000 characters, from Spider-man to Squirrel Girl.

Assuming, simply for the sake of argument, that the $4 billion is divided equally per character (that is, Spiderman wasn’t worth any more than Squirrel Girl), then Disney paid $800,000.00 per character.

SG presumably wants the rights to (at least) the three main ‘Shazam’ characters (Cap, Mary, Junior), their major supporting characters and villains. It appears she also wants the rights to the other Fawcett superheroes from the 1940s.

So, based on my recollection of the 1970s DC Shazam comics (and the Fawcett reprints therein), she wants to buy the rights to at least the following:

• 1. Capt. Marvel
  2. Capt. Marvel Jr.
  3. Mary Marvel
  4. the Wizard Shazam
  5. Sivana
  6. Sivana Jr
  7. Georgia Sivana
  8. Beautia Sivana
  9. Magnificus Sivana
  10. Capt. Nazi
  11. Ibac
  12. Mr Mind
  13. Mr Atom
  14. Black Adam
  15. Uncle Dudley
  16. Ebenzeer Batson
  17. Sterling Morrison
  18. Mr Tawny
  19. Lt. "Fat" Marvel
  20. Lt. "Tall" Marvel
  21. Lt. "Hillbilly" Marvel
  22. Hoppy the Marvel Bunny

There’s also the other Fawcett heroes, which would include the following:

• 23. Bulletman
  24. Bulletgirl,
  25. Spy Smasher,
  26. Minute-Man,
  27. Mr. Scarlet
  28. Pinky
  29. Ibis

So, at $800,000 per character for 29 characters the fair market value for the “Fawcett Heroes” would be twenty-three million, two hundred thousand dollars ($23,200,000.00).

Either she's a lot wealthier than one would think or she plans to hold one hell of a bake sale.

I am sure Nowie, if he existed, would call her a total and utter Snarf

10. Patrick Finnegan Eloy, Arizona 85131 I've been a fan of Captain Marvel since Whiz Comics number one, and my daughter is the author of this petition. She knows more about these characters than anyone at their current publisher do. Giver her a chance to PROVE it.

8. Anthony Arfuso 6066 With all due respect to DC as well as to that of Warner Brothers this longtime fan in all honesty believes that if DC cant allow a true blue fan of the Shazam family and pro writer Gail Simone to land her dream job of begging to write a Captain Marvel monthly or even a Mary Marvel mini/maxi even that you please allow the author of this here petition to be handed over the rights to use the Shazam family and cast from hence forth for this particular person truly knows, loves as well as believes in this franchise more then anyone i've heard of apart from Gail herself. Thank you.

She wants to pay $600,000 for the full rights to those characters including TV/Film and reprints of old stories and cartoons. All while essentially telling DC that they're too stupid to know how to use them. This girl is master at negotiation.

Damn! I'll create characters she can have for $6k !! I call him.... Major Amazing! When he says the magic word NOSTALGIA! (possessing the combined talents and abilities of Nostradamus, Oscar Wilde, Stan Lee, Tommy Hilfiger, Achilles, Larry the cable guy, porn star Gia Paloma, doctor Ian McGregor, and Art Garfunkel) he becomes a force for Truth, Good, and Anglo-Saxon Beliefs!

Actually, she would only have to pay me $1k for those ideas...

Nowie posted that on facebook. It scared me.

It isn't enough for me to sacrifice any sort of employment to outsourcing and credit checks, and my dignity by being on the public dole, now the Republicans want me to sacrifice money I DON'T HAVE so their rich buddies DON'T HAVE TO PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE???

Where the fuck is she getting $600,000?

You know what I love? The morons on this forum "thinking" that publishing will both keep me off the internet and make me go broke.

Never going to happen.

I know more about the publishing business than the DELUSIONAL DAN DIDIOT ever will, and unlike DAN DIDIOT, I won't allow plagiarism or pandering to the lowest common denominator. From what I've seen, the lowest common denominator, most of whom take everything "people" like DAN DIDIOT, Bill Reilly, Ann Coulter, and Rush Limbaugh say as gospel, have no brains or taste.

FYI, if you're going to sign the petition, USE YOUR REAL NAME.

I concede your point about your knowledge of publishing. The truth of your words are evident in the fact that Dan Didio is head of a giant comic book company while you are on government assistance.

She's up to 13 signatures! That's like one a month!

Don't worry about what she brings to the table. She BRINGS the fucking table!

Other tidbits from the Q&A session include Berganza asking the audience what they thought about the idea of an "Untold Tales of Flashpoint" project set in the timeline, the revelation that originally Cyborg was planned to have his own Flashpoint tie-in, Berganza saying that the decision to kill off characters is usually a "mixture" between creators and editorial, the promise from Berganza to a Spectre fan that Demon Knights will "deal with a lot of our mystical characters," Berganza's comment that the Flashpoint take on Superman was intended to "look at the human element of the character," and Azzarello telling the crowd, to a warm reception, "Shazam's coming, alright?"
