Hmm... Y'know... I've heard varying opinions on this, but if you're a writer and you come up with an idea, wrote the scripts and get it sold, you are the sole creator in my book. Because the way it works in comics, after you SELL it, then the editor has to find someone to draw it. So the intellectual property was in a pre-existing state before there ever was an artist assigned to the book. Does the artist add the necessary visuals? To be sure. But it's because of the writer that the artist even has the job. And the editor could've gotten anybody. Now, I don't believe this is ALWAYS the case. Stan and Jack came up with stuff TOGETHER. So did Stan and Ditko. But nowadays, I think it's writers who are the driving force behind most projects. Not artists. Broome is never on the message boards talking about the Blue Marvel, but Grevioux is. He shaped the character and lived with it. If Broome was a true co-creator, he would be talking about it.
