The lawsuit, which was first reported by Law360, was filed on Monday in the Gainesville division of the U.S. Silenn Thomas, the chief executive of Frank Miller Ink, said in an email that Miller would not comment on the ongoing legal matter. When the question was raised about demands before 2022 to return the artwork, she said, she searched her husband’s files and found no such requests.
He bound all of this correspondence by year, by name and in alphabetical order by company.” “When I say all of it, I don’t know if you can comprehend the level of meticulousness. “My husband kept all his correspondence,” she said in a phone interview. Miller contended in the court papers that he and Kraft agreed they were on loan, citing “custom and usage in the trade at the time,” and that he made repeated requests for their return.īut Kraft’s widow, Jennifer Bush-Kraft, disagreed with Miller’s assertions. He had sent both to Kraft for his use in the publication the Ronin artwork was used as the cover of Comics Interview No. 31 in 1986, as well as art depicting the title character of Miller’s 1983 Ronin series. The lawsuit seeks the return of the Batman piece, which was used on the cover of Comics Interview No. The art, which appeared on covers of David Anthony Kraft’s magazine Comics Interview in the 1980s, includes an early depiction of Batman and a female Robin - from the 1986 The Dark Knight Returns series - and is potentially a valuable collectible. The comic writer and artist Frank Miller is suing the widow and the estate of a comics magazine founder over two pieces of promotional art he created that she was trying to sell at auction.
