THE PEOPLE COLUMN

Ray Combs, host of the television game show "Family Feud," was arrested on a trespassing complaint after he appeared on stage of the comedy club he co-owns in Cincinnati.

Combs' arrest at the CaddyCombs Comedy Club Friday night was the latest legal action in a dispute about ownership and operation of the downtown club he and others opened in September.

He was released later but is scheduled to appear in Hamilton County Municipal Court April 25.

Combs has filed a lawsuit against his partners as a result of the dispute.

Amy Grant is suing Marvel Comics to stop the use of what she says is her likeness on a comic book that features "occult subject matter."

She charges a photograph from her 1986 album "Amy Grant - The Collection" was copied for the cover of the March 15 issue of "Dr. Strange Sorcerer Supreme." She filed a lawsuit Friday in U.S. District Court in Nashville, Tenn.

"You'll see it's the spitting image," said her attorney, Mark Patterson.

The lawsuit charges that "Dr. Strange" features characters, story lines and artwork related to witchcraft, sorcery, science fiction and other fantasy, horror and occult subject matter.

"Many fans of Christian music consider interest in witchcraft and the occult to be antithetical to their Christian beliefs and to the message of Christian music in general," the lawsuit said.
