Disney and Ditko Reach Settlement Over Marvel Hero Rights

Disney and Marvel have reached a settlement with the estate of comic book artist Steve Ditko, effectively ending a two-year dispute over termination notices on the rights to characters such as Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, and Iron Man. Other artists' families and heirs had also challenged the rights to characters created by their family members, but those disputes were resolved earlier this year. The terms of the settlement are confidential, but all sides are reportedly "very satisfied" with the outcome.

The fight is over the rights to titles including The Avengers, Captain America, Iron Man, and more. Marvel has reached deals that resolve four of the fights, but the fate of Amazing Fantasy and Strange Tales is still to be determined.
