It may be too early to call it, but the Gossiping Bitches just caught word that Stan Lee & Marvel are suing MF Doom for copyright infringement. We’ve even heard Stones Throw had to pull the cover artwork to the Madvillain project cause Doom was cold-chilling with the mask on the album.
If this news proves to be incorrect, feel free to sue us instead. Rather, file this news story under “inevitable” and we’ll point our fingers one day and say, “told you so.”
UPDATE (02.02.04):
Gossiping Bitches has learned that Doom is not being served a lawsuit, but a cease & desist order from Stan Lee/Marvel Enterprises. What this means is Doom will not be able to reprint the original Doomsday artwork, or the Special Herbs albums which feature Lee’s original Dr Doom character art.
However, because the Madvillain artwork is original, Stones Throw is in the clear in regards to releasing it.
