I met this guy in Pittsburgh about 10 years ago. He drew a simple sketch in a book that I think would probably be worth a couple hundred dollars if I put it up on ebay, but don't think I could do it.
The X-Men characters were used in the movies that Marvel made millions of dollars on. But Marvel didn't pay royalties for creators characters until a few years after he created these. So this guy died in a VA hospital without any money...
