I wish I knew these were there before – I just bought “George Sprott” from Amazon a couple of weeks ago. It is quite a book to hold in one’s hands though!

The NY Times commissioned these works from the artists, and the right to reprint them online was likely part of the contract. The original publisher is the one putting them online.

How does this relate to the copyright issues around Google posting people’s work without their consent? Are these posted with the cooperation of the artist and publisher, and is the copyright acknowledged? I can’t really tell from reading part of Seth’s piece how this is being handled.

That is great!
I do agree that if you can afford to put one of your graphic novels online you should, share the art! That is what the internet is all about!
