That Marvel logo goes by at such high speed I'd not noticed my art was included.

Saw a story the other day that Romeo Tanghal was struggling to get Marvel to even answer calls about whether he was owed some royalties. Sounds like he was but they are so short-staffed that it can take years to get payments sorted. When you see the crap that comes through to JB it explains why the process is so slow!

Like the Seinfeld episode where he is cashing all the Japanese royalty cheques....

Marvel long had a policy of not paying foreign royalties. Don't know if they still have that.

All those pages were filled with listings of multiple
payments of 4¢, 8¢, 6¢ and so on.

=============

Any idea how they came up with the different values for
the pages?

Another statement this morning -- again, just under $400. This time, tho, only one page, and four entries.

I continue to be bewildered by the process.

Maybe they "test-marketed" just under $400 and found that amount to be just high enough to seem legit to creators who can't make heads or tails of the following pages. I'm kidding...mainly.
