| | 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 |
