Subject: UKCAC: Dez Skinn to sue Eclipse
Date: 20 Sep 1993 06:25:16 -0500

Read the Miracleman 24 letters page? Eclipse accuses Dez of not
paying a stack of creators over the Eclipse reprints of Marvelman.
Eclipse claimed they paid Dez the money but he didn't pass it on.

According to sources who wish to remain anonymous (but are primary
sources), Dez actually paid all the creators their money (Alan Davis,
Alan Moore, Gary Leach). One of the cover artists that eclipse
specifically name as being screwed by Dez Skinn was his best man at
his wedding!

Alan Moore claims not to have been paid by Dez Skinn. Dez Skinn
claims to have paid him. My source states that Dez Skinn stole Alan
Moore's girlfriend away from him, and states that Alan Moore is
playing silly buggers.

This source is definitely biased toward's Dez's view but it's
interesting to hear the other side of the arguement.

See you in court!
