Summary:	"During a time of unprecedented political and social upheaval in U.S. history, one of the fiercest battles was ignited by a comic book. Such is the legacy of the Air Pirates, a group of underground cartoonists who brought upon themselves the full wrath of the Disney entertainment empire at the apex of its cultural influence." "In 1963, the San Francisco Chronicle made 21-year-old Dan O'Neill the youngest syndicated cartoonist in American newspaper history. As O'Neill delved deeper into the emerging counterculture, his strip Old Bodkins became more and more provocative, until the Chronicle let him go. The lesson that O'Neill drew from the experience? That what America needed most was the destruction of Walt Disney." "O'Neill assembled a band of rogue cartoonists, called the Air Pirates after a group of villains who had bedeviled Mickey Mouse in his syndicated newspaper strip. They lived communally in a San Francisco warehouse owned by Francis Ford Coppola and put out a comic book, Air Pirates Funnies, which featured Disney characters participating in very un-Disneylike behavior. This provoked a mammoth lawsuit for copyright and trademark infringement, Disney represented by one of San Francisco's top corporate law firms and the Pirates by the cream of the counterculture bar. The litigation raged for 10 years, from the trial court to the U.S. Supreme Court and back again - changing lives, setting legal precedent, and making clear the boundaries in a still-going cultural war."--BOOK JACKET.  Read more...
