LEGAL ACTION COMICS
 |
 |
this info comes from the tabletnewspaper.com
|
Legal Action Comics is a 256-page comic collection
boasting some of the biggest cartoonists around, including Robert Crumb,
Tony Millionaire, Julie Doucet, Mike Diana and Art Spiegelman.

The impetus for this collection stemmed from a very
public argument between political cartoonist/columnist, Ted Rall, and
cartoonist/illustrator, Danny Hellman. Rall wrote a rather scathing
cover story in the Village Voice (August 3, 1999) in which he made some
unflattering remarks about Spiegelman, the Pulitzer Prize winning author
and illustrator of MAUS. Hellman wrote a letter to the Village Voice
in response to the article, but, being quite the prankster, he also
concocted a phony discussion group called Rallsballs@onelist.com, wherein,
parodying Rall's self-aggrandizing style, he encouraged young cartoonists
to "take a meat cleaver to all of the industries' sacred cows,"
and sent e-mails to the site impersonating various publishing magnates
such as Si Newhouse of Condé Nast: "Take me off of this
list or I will have you killed!" He sent it to 30 of his pals;
sure that a hearty laugh would be had by all. To make a long story less
long, Rall found the joke wildly unfunny and, thinking his career at
risk, served Hellman with a $1.5 million lawsuit. The original five
charges - libel, libel per se, injurious falsehood, violation of statutory
right of privacy, intentional infliction of emotional distress - have
since been whittled down to one (libel per se), but the trial is still
pending and the lawyer's fees have crossed the 15-grand barrier for
both parties. All proceeds from the comic collection will go towards
the Dirty Danny Legal Defense Fund.
