I don't know for sure, but I'd bet that Shane Davis didn't see much money until very near the end of his nine months working on "Superman: Earth One" or possibly even until it was printed. All that time was time he could have been doing shorter comic-book projects and getting smaller but successive paychecks.

This comes pretty close to the specious distinction drawn between comics and graphic novels at last year's symposium. Are you really going to tell Shane Davis that Superman Earth One isn't a graphic novel because he knew DC was going to pay him?Josh Kopinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09338447142621730382noreply@blogger.com
