What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MA
Dell comics went defunct in 1973. In 1964 a friend drew a comic. He still has the art and wanted to put out a book of the original art. Since the company is not in business and he owns the art, and the book is not a reprint of the original but the life of people, would he need the persons permission as a historical book, on the art of the original book??? Could he reprint it as a comic?
I could find no copyright renewals after 1978.
Thanks
