Wow. His situation is even more tragic I'd prieviously gathered. Damn.
A lot of Mantlo's stuff hasn't been collected, his work on Hulk in paticularl is something you'd expect to be more easily available. I think the majority of it is too early for royalties but it would be nice if Marvel could release some of his work and give some of the profit to his family. Not that I'd expect it to happen.

Mantlo was one of those creators who quietly expands the shared universe he works on in amazing ways but hardly ever gets the recognition he deserved. He invented the entire Science Fantasy mythology for both Rom Space Knight and Micronauts, making them far better reading experiences than any obscure toy-tie had any right to be.

Please read this article
. Bill Mantlo was a class act at Marvel in the 70s and 80s. He got a law degree. Then he got hit by a car.
Under World. It rocks!
