I'm clearly not a copyright lawyer, so I can't affirm or deny that.<br /><br />What Avalon owns or seems to own is a great deal of material after 1967, though it has also published material predating that year.<br /><br />I know John Lustig bought the rights to all the material in First Kiss and uses it as material for his hilarious Last Kiss comics.<br /><br />I recently saw an ad for a trade paperback that reprints the entire Reptilicus/Reptisaurus run under a different name.<br /><br />The Charlton copyrights situation strikes me as very complicated.
