You may notice that some novels have disclaimers stating that characters and events described in the story are indeed fictional and any similarity to real people or events is purely coincidental.
Last week I was processing (getting the book ready to go on the library shelves) a copy of Michael Alan Nelson's graphic novel The Gathering** (vol. 2 of the Fall of Cthulhu series) and found this disclaimer on the title page. I just had to share it with you all.
"The characters and events depicted herein are fictional. Any similarity to actual person, demons, anti-Christs, aliens, vampires, face-suckers or political figures, whether living, dead or undead, or to any actual or supernatural events is coincidental and unintentional. So don't come whining to us!" - Boom! Studio (TM) Publishers
I guess they just about covered everything!
