I am an experienced commercial contracts attorney with expertise in publishing and IP licensing. During my career, I’ve represented major corporate clients including AfterShock, Amazon, Marvel, and Viacom as well as independent creative professionals and start-up companies.

Central Park Media gave me my first real taste of entertainment contracts. As general counsel of a startup publishing company, I acted as the sole owner of all drafting and negotiating of international IP licenses, work for hire agreements, and statements of work associated with anime and manga production. Our catalog included everything from the painfully tragic Grave of the Fireflies to the infamous Legend of the Overfiend and everything in between.

In 2002, Marvel brought me in to handle their new international publishing department. My main function was helping Marvel break into the Japanese market, but I also initiated, negotiated, drafted, and managed compliance for international licenses associated with Marvel entertainment IP. This work covered consumer goods, film, interactive media, and publishing in Europe, South America, and the Middle East. In addition, I drafted many of the exclusive talent deals Marvel began to set up around the time Ultimates began to gain traction. I left Marvel soon after the Ultimates, X-men, and Spider-Man deals were established in Japan.

After Marvel, I launched my own practice to serve independent IP creators and freelance artists with their business development, contracts, and licensing issues. I’ve given lectures with the American Bar Association, The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, and New York Law School. My clients also include technology startups including GlobalComix and Zoop.

In 2020, I published a book called The Business of Independent Comic Book Publishing as a comprehensive guide on the business and legal aspects of the independent comic book industry. I am currently working on the follow-up book, The Business of Freelance Comic Book Publishing, which is scheduled for publication in the Fall of 2022.

Steve Colle

Steve Colle has worn many hats in his 30+ years in the comic industry:

Retailer; Writer; Submissions editor; Editor-in-chief; Freelancer; Art director; Creative and business consultant; Instructor to creators, editors, and publishers; Founder and administrator of the comic editor-centric Comic Book Editors Alliance; and finally, Mentor.

Steve believes that his success comes from the successes of his students, clients, and creators. This drives him to always strengthen and support others, both in this industry and in all of his life dealings.

Chelsea Crutchley, creator of STRAY SOD (http://comic.chelseacrutchley.com/comic/issue-1-print-cover/), shared her thoughts:

“I had been self-publishing my comic for three years, and believed it was as good as I could make it. Steve’s suggestions not only fine-tuned my panels, they also make me more conscious of choices I make in future pages. His insights into the industry have also helped me focus my energy on more specific goals. Not only is my current project improving, but with his help I am developing new skills and confidence as a creator.”
