Gerry Conway's request to fans: Starting in the mid-70s DC offered creators an opportunity for what they called "equity participation." With the appropriate paperwork submitted and signed, DC creators would receive a share of the profits generated by their creations Like I said, you may think this is only fair, but in the '70s it[...]
