Now New Comic Company LLC, who acquired the rights to Creepy in 2007, is suing Richard Sala’s Warrant Publishing Company for copyright infringement, alleging The Creeps is “intentionally seeking to take advantage of the popularity and goodwill of Creepy magazine, its prior publisher (Warren), and Creepy’s devoted fan base.”

Trina Robbins has posted copies of the art work that was lost/stolen.

HERE’S PHOTOS OF MY LOST ART! The curator of the exhibit took photos on my kitchen table before taking the art, and here they are. Two of the lost pieces turn out to be a poster and a copy of the newspaper, It Ain’t Me, Babe, so, although the newspaper is rare, the cost is pretty negligeable (Though it would be nice to get them back, too). So here are the three pages to keep an eye out for. Thank you all for caring!
