| | Posted: | | | | This is from the movie 'Stardust':  It's clear that Neil Gaiman gets an "Original Material By" credit. But what about Charles Vess? Should he get an OMB credit as well? |

| | Posted: | | | | Interesting credit. When it comes to screenplay adaptations, a graphic novel is no different to a comic book, the screenwriter may use the text and/or drawings to better understand/develop the story and its characters.
As such, I consider the above screen credit as a source material credit (OMB). |

There is already a precedent in the online database for a comic book artist being credited for OMB and OCB, and that is Jack Kirby (CAPTAIN AMERICA, ANT-MAN, AVENGERS, BLACK PANTHER, FANTASTIC FOUR, HULK, IRON MAN, THOR, X-MEN, ...). Jack Kirby was an American comic book artist, he was not a writer. He combined with writers Stan Lee and Joe Simon to create many of the super heroes. | | | | Last edited: by ObiKen |

Jack Kirby was an American comic book artist, he was not a writer. He combined with writers Stan Lee and Joe Simon to create many of the super heroes. A tangent: Kirby was at the very least a co-plotter in most or all the work he did, and in at least some cases the sole plotter (that's all I'll say on that score since that degree to which he is co-plotter or sole plotter in his collaborations with Lee is hotly debated). On some works he was definitely the scripter as well (most of the stuff he did in the 1970s). Simon, like Kirby, was also an artist and the two of them contributed to both the writing and the art in their collaborations. | | | | Last edited: by AndyEN |
