I won't pretend to understand copyright licensing, but this is from the preview image on his online store for those that do:I doubt he has a license to sell Doctor Who stuff.

If you're reading this Tim, your wife is fat, gross and ugly, just like you.

Doyle generally does have some sort of legit licensing. Typically through some third party sub licensor, that the main IP owners are not thrilled about, but can’t actually do much regarding. For example for his Doctor Who shit he clearly doesn’t have a license from BB.C (which are expensive). It looks like he squeaks in by buying a much cheaper license from the sub license holder who is publishing DVD’s of the old David Niven movie. It’s a not uncommon trick. He has just enough legitimacy to survive a blatant copyright or IP challenge. And he’s small time enough to not make it worth anybodies effort to attempt to stomp on. Technically licenses are being paid for.
Are you saying he's actually reprinting old movie posters instead of just selling ones he already has?
ETA: Apparently yes.

Yeah. The company that he got the license from likely has the rights to reprint the marketing materials as part of their DVD publication.
That's pretty much a stretch and he's probably using the material in excess of the license and thus actually infringing, but it's pretty much up to the owner to complain about that.
The problem is it is nect to impossible and overly expensive to bring an infringing case against somebody that has an actual license contract. At least over something these small time. It's messy and annoying. Nobody will bother. Just like his Frank Frazeta license. It's issued by an offshoot black sheep of the Frazetta family, who there may be some question as to his rights to issue it. But it would be an ugly expensive mess, so the main family complains about it, but never sends in the lawyers.
Zack says they get used by ppl like waid & bonvillain every now and then. He's right, the numbers these guys are doing in book sales & the pay they get is negligible. I think they're just privileged children who couldn't figure out how to put the 'work' in to 'working artist'. They come from a long line of internships and summer 'jobs', shit they mostly took to stay busy while dadbux paved the way IRL. They don't have the mental frame of reference that is Hustling For Your Art, so they get stuck in a low paying loop of share houses and 5th floor walk ups when they ought to be homeowners by now.And while I'm at it, guys like Darryl Ayo who get retweeted whenever they go after EVS or D&C. They seem to rub elbows with all the big boys but Ayo can't seem transition it into an actual job? What's the point? Are these people just really exceptional and let themselves be used by people like Tamara Bonvillain and Mark Waid?
The pyramids were not built by slaves, so what? Who even cares?More Doyle exceptionalism.

Interesting how it's okay when he says it.
That's interesting. I have an idea for a Transformers comic I'd like to make... Do you have to be "in the industry" to do this, or would it be possible for a normie to buy the rights from some third party sub licensor, so then I could self-release the comic and use a Transformers logo without trouble?.
