Speaking of Mike Netzer...

Can someone explain to me the legalities that surround the "A-Z Superhero Poster"? I'm not an expert by any means, but I'm curious (and not in a malicious, "I-will-topple-this-enterprise!" way, either) as to how you can mass produce (and I may be wrong on the level it's being printed, too) something that features trademarked and copyrighted characters. I realize artists sell their artwork all the time and do commissions as well, so this post is really self-serving. It's just one of those things I've always wondered about. And here, just to show off the art, is the poster:

I think he meant artistically, champ. Feel free to knock the writing in Hush, but Lee's art was amazing.

Put me down in the "Jim Lee can't draw Batman" camp. He made Batman look like a 'roided-up professional wrestler with pointy ears.
