Money Matters

The Authors Coalition of America is an organization that collects and then distributes royalty payments from other countries for American authors and creators. In some cases, they collect money for someone and then don't know where to send it. Here's the latest list of folks they're looking for and it includes a number of cartoonists and comic book folks.

I have already alerted Sergio Aragonés that he's on there. In fact, most of the living comic book people seem to have heard about it…but there are a number of deceased writers and artists there like Gil Kane, Wally Wood and Reed Crandall. If you are in touch with the heirs or estates of such people, let 'em know they have money to claim. It may not be much but it is money. And don't thank me for this. Kurt Busiek told me about it and suggested I let the world know…or as much of the world as reads my weblog.
