I’ve been digging into that forgotten indie run‑by‑comics group from '93, and there’s a legal twist that might interest you—especially if you’re hunting for that underground gem that everyone’s been missing.

In 1993 the indie group that ran that underground title actually signed a paper that gave a tiny indie press the rights to the back‑room art, but the clause that let the press “reissue” the stories in any format—print or digital—was never properly updated for the web. That oversight left the original artists without a claim to the digital distribution, so a collector who wants that missing gem might end up buying it under a shaky license that never cleared the creators’ name. Knowing that, you can negotiate a retroactive license that pays the artists and secures a clean release of the lost issue.
