Hi there folks  ;)


There are certain characters/heros like Captain Marvel, Lil Genius, etc... Some of the issues are copyrighted-renewed but some not.

So the comic itself can be used freely or not?


Thanks a lot in advance, this is a really great site with great people   ;)

Just because a book is in the public domain it does NOT mean that the characters in it are. It is tricky! Personally, I'd avoid it ... but if I was reprinting stuff on T-shorts etc I'd use "stock" type pictures and avoid all "names"

I mean no named characters. Unless I knew what I was doing and had licenses where needed I would not have done that.

No popbs ... you aren't  ... it's just a minefield with a few sharks lurking around (to mix metaphors). So I stay well clear!
