 Erik Larsen, an artist, publisher and cofounder of Image Comics, denied that it had any impact on Image Comics or the industry in general, stating that “[t]he Creators’ Bill of Rights was always a puzzle to me…Those who drafted and signed it, talk about the Creators’ Bill of Rights as though it’s a document of some historic import, I’ll grant you, but outside of those who signed it—I’ve never had it brought up or even mentioned in passing to me by anybody in the industry.” Larsen argued that the signatories did not speak for the wider industry and had no authority to do so.Larsen added “I think its impact in the industry is, frankly, minimal at best.Heck, I've never read the darned thing.”

According to Denis Kitchen, a cartoonist, publisher, author and agent, and the founder of Kitchen Sink Press and the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, he and Will Eisner, creator of the Spirit (comics) and also a publisher, did not take the Creator’s Bill of Rights very seriously.
