'Gordon Lee's trouble began on Halloween of 2004, the night he gave away thousands of free comics to trick-or-treaters at Legends, his Rome, Georgia comic shop. One of the free titles, Alternative Comics #2, contained an excerpt from comic artist Nick Bertozzi's soon-to-be-published graphic novel The Salon, a murder mystery set in fin-de-siecle Paris. In a handful of frames, Picasso is depicted painting in the nude as he unveils his pioneering Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907) for fellow cubist Georges Braque.

Patterson's office did not respond to a request for comment.'
