And of course, the turn of the wrist gestures are another. That FF page with She-Hulk in the foreground, Sue’s gestures as the small figure in the distance are great. Says so much about what she’s feeling.

Very true. In art art school gesture drawings were very important, even though at the time I was thinking "why are we spending so much time doing this?"

Ah. So you're the Composite Superman... Artist.

I love how JB populates normal surroundings with...stuff.  Garbage, books, furniture, cars (oh, the cars!), architectural features, a drink in a character's hand, framed photos, scuffs on walls...all the things we see and yet don't see everyday in real life.  And all perfect for whatever time period or world we are enjoying at moment. 

An interesting side effect of this was that your work on Alpha Flight specifically was a major gateway drug for me to alternative/independent/art comics (or whatever we're calling them this week).  The small scale stakes of the narrative structure and stillness of the art that eschewed over-the-top kozmik craziness and refocused on low-key character dynamics and believable interior lives (with body language to match) really called out to me when I was in my early teens and made me seek out more like it... which I think I'm still doing.
