Comic Book Writer Sues Cowboys and Aliens Producers | Shockya.com

While one person can’t legally own the exclusive rights to produce a cowboy or alien film, comic book writer Steven Busti is claiming he owns the rights to the combination of the two, TMZ is reporting. As a result, the ‘Bizarre Fantasy’ comic writer is suing the producers of ‘Cowboys & Aliens,’ saying he created the concept in 1994, 17 years before the sci-fi western film was released last summer.
