Marvel Can Suck My Cock Black T-shirt

Description

For a limited time only, get yourself a piece of comic book history, the Marvel Can Suck My Cock t-shirt, unleashed upon the world to a sensational uproar at the SanDiego Comicon & had folks freaking out at conventions across the country, this is truly the most controversial t-shirt in comics history and it’s available NOW while supplies last!

SO…. why release this shirt now? There’s a  lot of creators out there pretty angry at Marvel right about now for the way they’ve been treated (these quotes are from Bleeding Cool’s article: https://bleedingcool.com/comics/dustin-nguyen-sean-murphy-zoe-thorogood-unload-on-marvel-comics/ )

Zoe Thorogood offered her own experience working for Marvel, “The only time I worked with Marvel was for a character design (they paid me $100 lmao but I thought it would be cool just to have done it so I agreed) they then, without my knowledge, used my concept art as a cover with zero compensation and I got so much hate for it because IT WAS NOT COVER ART, IT WAS AN $100 SKETCH. Anyway.” Dustin replied to Zoe, “you get to play in our sandbox” bullsh-t the pull on every artist. also, at this point, you’re already pass them. f-ck marvel” And former Marvel, now IDW editor Heather Antos replied, “WOW that is so f-cked up… they paid assistant editors so low that when the government raised minimum wage they had to give all assistants raises AND overtime.”

Chris Stevens added “Cheers. I stopped working for them in 2018. I asked for a rate increase. I didn’t ask for a specific amount, just ANY increase and they wouldn’t do it. I’d been doing covers for them for 10 years and still had the same rate. They dont need us though. They know someone will gladly take the job for peanuts, so they have little incentive to pay better.

And Yanick Paquette wrote “Marvel has been taking advantage of its almost monopoly of mainstream comics for years. EVERYBODY pays me better for a cover. DC, Boom, Image, Dark Horse, Oni, some joe starting a Kickstarter. Marvel is dead last. Their argument is that the original art would sell better (and they are right of course) but the original sale revenue is mine, we fought for this, and paying under the market is their way to claw back at this extra revenue.

Jason Shawn Alexander wrote, “My Marvel experience was a joke, and DC has only been marginally better. But they’re currently screwing me on my own book. Lol. No need to be polite anymore, that’s how they got here. Artist timidity. F-ck those guys.” Would that be his so-called creator-owned comic book Frostbite from DC/Vertigo, created with Jason Williamson? You would have hoped Jason would have had some pull on that one… but those later Vertigo contracts were awful.

JH Williams III just added, “You’ve lit a firestorm. Got your back.” And Rob Liefeld offered “I’m sorry. I’ll hire you for a cover and other work.” And Ben Templesmith commented, “Well holy sh-t, my admiration of you just went from great to astronomical, sir.” I guess the conversation has begun… again.
