Walt Disney Co. is taking legal action against former Marvel Comics writers and illustrators who are trying to claim rights to characters and stories they worked on decades ago, including Iron Man, Spider-Man and Daredevil. Disney-owned Marvel on Friday sued several ex-Marvel comics artists in order to invalidate copyright termination notices they served against the entertainment giant. Marvel filed multiple complaints in federal court in New York and California. The artists, all except one are deceased, worked for Marvel in the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s. Their representatives served their termination notices earlier this year. The artists include Lawrence D. Lieber, 89, a writer Marvel hired in 1958 and who wrote stories featuring the likes of Iron Man, Thor and Ant-Man. Lieber is the younger brother of the late Stan Lee, whose work with Marvel provided the foundation of much of the publisher’s success and was long one of the publisher’s most recognizable public faces. Lee died in 2018 .
