Shows what happens when you are behind the curve, as
Marvel,
Cockrum, Agree to Settlement (thanks Z) is a follow-up to yesterday's story
about the X-Men artist's current condition from shortly after the article
mentioned yesterday was published. It turns out that a settlement between Marvel
and Dave to compensate him for his contributions to their legacy was engineered
by Clifford Meth and Neal Adams, a legendary comic artist in his own right. Word
is: "While the details of the settlement will remain confidential, they will
allow the Cockrums to securely enjoy their retirement. The Cockrums were elated
with news of the settlement. 'Dave is relieved and happy that Marvel has come
forward with an offer to compensate him for past work that has benefited
Marvel,' Neal Adams reported. 'I can tell you that Dave's happiness is, in fact,
my happiness.'" This doesn't abate the sadness at Dave's current physical
condition, but it's a relief to know that their financial difficulties have been
eased.
