Marvel is suing the family of the late artist Jack Kirby in a bid to retain copyright to some of the company's best-loved comic book characters. Legal action, filed in New York, sought to invalidate 45 notices sent by his heirs, claiming rights to characters would revert to Kirby's estate in 2014. Marvel maintains Kirby's illustrations, published between 1958-1963, were “for hire” making the heirs' claims invalid
