In any event, the settlement that the two men reached early last year was a confidential one, giving no real indication as to the specifics of the outcome. Gaiman and McFarlane waged a decade-long legal battle over ownership of Angela, although some have suggested that their true motives had more to do with the rights to the character of Miracleman. “Whatever Neil chooses to do with something that he owns is at his complete and utter discretion.” “Neil Gaiman and I had a resolution in our legal dispute, and as part of that he ended up with the rights of Angela,” the Spawn creator told Newsarama. The announcement that Neil Gaiman would be returning to Marvel, and that he would be bringing with him the character of Angela – co-created with McFarlane for Spawn – raised a number of questions for fans and industry folks alike questions like “Does Todd McFarlane have any say in whether Angela appears in a Marvel book?” and “How many stamps do you think McFarlan can lick in an hour, roughly?”** Thanks to the intrepid folks at Newsarama that first question can now be answered.
