It's always nice to see Marvel and DC give some appreciation to creators who built a lot of what we love in their companies. They're much better about that than they were in the 1960's and 1970's and into the 1980's.
I recall that when Stan Lee was running Golden Age reprints in FANTASY MASTERPIECES, and MRVEL COLLECTORS ITEM CLASSICS in the 1960's, he was leaving off the story credits to Human Torch reprints and Captain America reprints. The artists were not paid for these reprints, and they weren't even given credit as the creators of those stories. This was sad for Simon and Kirby, but especially sad for artist Carl Burgos who created and drew the Golden Age Human Torch, who really needed the money. He was still drawing stories for the early pre-Marvel issues of TALES TO ASTONISH and TALES OF SUSPENSE, and he stopped working for Marvel in disgust over that.
Marvel and DC would buy themselves more goodwill from the public if they gave more overtly fair credit and compensation to their most prominent creators, as I quoted others arguing
in the Kirby topic.
I bought those Kraft/Giffen/Janson issues at 3 dollars each in VF/near mint, and a lot of those issues still seem to be selling at pretty much the same price.
