Before the letter went out, comic book artist Jos\u00e9 Delgo sold<\/a> a Wonder Woman-themed NFT collection via Makersplace.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease note that the offering for sale of any digital images featuring DC\u2019s intellectual property with or without NFTs, whether rendered for DC\u2019s publications or rendered outside the scope of one\u2019s contractual engagement with DC, is not permitted,\u201d the letter from DC\u2019s legal team noted. Following the letter, one artist uploaded the letter to Opensea and sold it as NFT art<\/a> called \u201cA Marvel to Behold\u201d for $2,000 worth of ethereum (ETH<\/a>).<\/p>\n
