That's a great poster page. One of the things that makes JB stand out among other artists is his ability to have the characters act so natural just standing there.

That commission along with the "Golden Years" commission grant Greno a lifetime bragging rights pass. ;)

That's a commission piece? Good grief!

Fantastic commission piece but no Bobby? My first exposure to the X-Men started with their appearances in Captain America #172-5. So those were my X-Men, but once I was involved with JB's run, those characters were added to my list. Ahh the thought of those great comics back then.

sighI worry about people who devote time and effort to poring over a piece like this, looking for who isn’t there. How about devoting a portion of that intellectual energy to considering WHY Bobby is “missing”?

-I guessed that there are only the characters you drew during your run in the book-

Well Iceman only got cameo appearances (in the funeral issue in X-Men #138 and as a dead X-Man in Days of Future Past) during Byrne's run.But what about poor Dazzler, reduced to only a small photo in a record jacket?

I actually didn't study this image. All I had done is just look for some of my favorite characters in this piece and noticed he wasn't present. It wasn't a criticism about the work. I was unaware of any parameters to this commission.

Bobby appeared in 2 panels during JB's entire run and he doesn't have a line of dialogue...
..if JB drew a tiny guy wearing a tie and a black overcoat in that commission, you guys would still be asking why Bobby is missing.

She's the same size as some of the background characters.
I thought it was a smart and creative way to add her to the commission. If anything, it made her stand out -- you did notice her.

I first picked up two X-Men comics at once, one was the modern title #131 and the other was a reprint of half of #2 plus a later '60s origin back-up (Amazing Adventures #4). So I kind of got exposed to three eras at one sitting. Almost the same with the Avengers just before that with the JB modern title #189 and a John Buscema reprint of #56 (Marvel Super-Action #15... I'd traded a kid for #189 when it had been out a month or so already). And I was doing it with Spider-Man around the same time (Amazing #198 with Marvel Tales #108, and a couple paperbacks of Steve Ditko era issues! Definitely added a dimension, something to puzzle over when you were pretty new to the 'universe'. Is this fascinating or what?
What?
I don't know about any of them being more real than any other, except that Gambit and Jubilee would probably be where I'd become really old and say, "they were never in my X-Men".
Bobby Drake could be in that scene inside one of the Sentinels! You can't prove he isn't... :^)
