Newsarama asks the question.



As the strike by members of the Writer's Guild of America dominated discussions in the entertainment industry this week, Newsarama decided to utilize this month's question for "The Q" to allow creators to share their opinions on whether writers in the comic book industry should form a similar union.

Earlier this week, Newsarama shared comments on the WGA strike by Brian K. Vaughan, who supported the idea of a union for comic book writers. But as he and others have pointed out, starting a union for creators in this industry has been tried before by creators like Arnold Drake and others – but none of those attempts have been successful.

So it's time for creators to sound off on the issue as we asked the question:

- Should comic book writers unionize? Could they unionize?
 
yes mostly for health insurance reasons. From what vaughn was saying in that other article, theirs funds for comic writers or foundations for those who are in bad accidents but no good health coverage from the companies themselves.

I agree.
 
I feel all comic book employees should be unionized.
 
Unions would have prevented the whole idiotic Superboy mess going on right now... As well as prevented a whole lot of writers from dying poor and penniless after getting screwed out of creative rights.
