Controversy
Comic Book Resources disclosed that much of the work credited to Dreamwave founder Pat Lee was in fact drawn by Milne, who received only a fragment of Lee's payment for work on Cyber Force. When Top Cow discovered this, Lee stopped paying Milne entirely. Milne later confirmed this in an interview.
