Felicity Smoak is an important character on The CW network's Arrow. Next season, Smoak, played by actress Emily Bett Rickards, will be a series regular. A few months ago, the fact that Smoak was even appearing on the show came as news to Gerry Conway, the writer who co-created the character with artist Rafael Kayanan in a 1984 issue of Firestorm. He didn't find out via a royalty check, either. He found out from fans. Now, he's started a blog aimed at getting himself and his fellow creators some compensation when DC Comics characters the create appear in non-comics media.
