MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE STAR ATTACKED BY COMIC BOOK MENTOR

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE star GERARD WAY has been accused of stealing ideas for his graphic novels from his one-time mentor, comic book icon HART FISHER.

Fisher published the rocker's On Raven's Wings comic when Way was a teenager, but now he's lashing out at his one-time protege for "ripping off" his writings in the singer's Dark Horse comic book series The Umbrella Academy.

The angry publisher rages, "(He's) ripping off my old message and many of my actual written bits. I'm in the process now of going through the lyrics and matching up where he has straight up ripped me off from my old editorials."

But Way is refusing to hit back at his old mentor, insisting instead he has attempted to reach out to Fisher.

In a statement the My Chemical Romance star says, "I sent him an email years ago... thanking him for believing in me, and never got a response.

"I'm not ashamed of what I did for him, and wanted to see him in person and thank him. I've never had the chance."
