Hi there admin, thank you for this awesome publish. It seems that you did a very good research on this matter. Definitely appreciate for your personal efforts.
I’m reading that one of the original Marvel Ghost Rider creators, Mike Friedrich, is broke, given nothing by Marvel and in fact being asked to fork over some several thousand dollars to Marvel.
Would it kill Nick Cage to give the guy a half million? If this story is true I hope someone embarrasses Marvel at the Oscars.
