Case Summary

3598 Although comic book characters were less-than-subtle evocations of plaintiffs, there was sufficient distortion of their likenesses for purposes of lampoon, parody, or caricature to make the work transformational, and thus subject to First Amendment protection, so plaintiff's were not entitled to maintain an action for invasion of the right of publicity (i.e., invasion of privacy by misappropriation).
