For another, he doesn’t “work for comic books,” but for an organization that focuses on protecting creators’ rights (among other things) within the comics industry. (Are you suggesting these creators - some of whom also work in “writing” - are lesser in the publishing world?) For another, not all comics work is work for hire. (See, for example, the case of Gaiman v McFarlane.) And, for another, some novel work is work for hire.
So, we’ve got more of you speaking in absolutes about subjects you’re not party to, and that aren’t so absolute.
The other problem is he is effectively selling the people he claims to represent down the river. Im not buying his claims because they dont line up with what I already know about publishing contracts.
