Actualy Western did have a profit-sharing plan in the early 1950s, I'm 
told...(I could have been told wrong).

 <<b. How much money did Superman make National Periodicals?  Joe Shuster and
 Jerry Siegel died in near poverty.>>

Thanks to Neal Adams and bad publicity, Warner Communications gave Shuster 
and Siegel a pension from the time of the first Superman movie till their 
deaths.  
The poverty was prior to that.

fired
 him for standing up for his claim to characters he created.>>

That would be Archie.  The harvey comics ended and most  were sold years ago.
