Don Martin’s Widow, Norma, Needs Trademark Help
Skip to comments
Norma Martin, widow of famed cartoonist Don Martin, is asking for help.
Norma is fighting to retain the trademark on “Don Martin.”
Norma Martin has opened a gofundme account to raise money
for legal fees in a fight to keep “Don Martin” a part of their family.
He made other people rich. But he was only rich in talent. I am his widow
living on social security, and I am trying to keep MAD and DC Comics, who are
owned by AT&T, from stealing his name, trademark and work. How are they
doing this and why should anyone care? Every creative person strives for
recognition. It represents their talent. Whether a writer, painter, musician,
poet, cartoonist, dancer, and so on, they all appreciate recognition.My opponents have
been using Don’s name on books and magazines all over the world as if it is
their property. They have been putting his name on work he did not create.
That is what I am fighting. I have done the best I can but will soon need the
help of real lawyers. And big companies fight hard and dirty. Law is a
complicated animal and I do not know enough to keep on fighting without
legal help.
If you have a few bucks to spare, please consider helping Norma.
