I noticed a coupel of interesting uses of creator credits recently:
1. The new Spawn Collection credits Frank Miller for the issue of Spawn he wrote but the onyl other credit in the entire book says something like "Art & Story by Todd McFarlane". There's no credit for Alan Moore on the issue he wrote.
This something of an advance over the previous reprint edition which had *no* credits for any of the writers who contributed stories. Dave Sim and Neil Gaiman's stories have been excised from continuity so they weren't reprinted in the new version.
2. The recent collection of Marvel's "1602: New World Order" has NO creator credits anywhere on the cover or spine.
You'd think Marvel would want to prominently credit "Terrific Ten" writer Greg Pak, wouldn't you? Especially given the risk that readers might accidentally assume "New World" was written by 1603 creator Neil Gaiman.
I'm sure Marvel wouldn't want that.
