Very simply. In the way I might use photo reference, I use my light table or my artograph to trace the image onto the paper.

Fun, too! Of course, right now microbrains across the internet are crying foul (or maybe fowl) at the word "trace".

Thank you JB for sharing this incredible project with us! The Jean B-plot intrigues me most.

The Jean B-plot intrigues me most. •• I generally think of that as the function of subplots -- to pique the reader's curiosity, and bring him/her back for more as the main story slides home.

Alpha Flight was where I first encountered your great use of the subplot, JB. In hindsight, your departure should have been obvious with less and less loose ends set up to be resolved (although you never did give us the Brass Bishop!).

Ah, the Brass Bishop!Are you aware of the Giant Rat of Sumatra? In one of his Sherlock Holmes stories, Arthur Conan Doyle has Holmes refer to this terrible case in which he was involved -- but that was all we were told. It puzzled Holmes fans for years. The Brass Bishop was meant to be my Giant Rat of Sumatra. (Later writers could not leave it as such, of course!)

Have to say, I absolutely LOVED that throwaway line Puck has-- just alluding to adventures he has "off screen" gives him more back story and makes him a richer character.
Also liked the way the series would focus on one or two characters and reserve the "team ups" for moments that really needed it, like fighting Tundra, the Master, and Omega Flight. More team books could learn from this approach, giving the individual members a chance to shine, as if the book is a merging of several solo books instead of nothing but "Avengers assemble!" every time a bank robbery goes off in Midtown...

When ALPHA FLIGHT was announced, there was much grumbling in the fan press. "Not another group book?!?"As it happened, I kind of agreed in principle, and had already planned to structure AF as if it was more like issues of the characters individual titles, with occasional visits to the team book. This, of course, generated grumbles that the book "never had the whole team together!!"

ALPHA FLIGHT was the Greatest.
I miss Michael and Elizabeth.
I mourn for Mac.
Heather took her glasses off once, or they fell off, and
I almost reached in the panel to help her get them back.
And Sasquatch. I miss Sasquatch. Perfect design. When he
was in motion, it was beautiful.
AF taught me more about life's imperfections than any TV
show, Movie, or Book.
You got an itch? You wanna see heads explode?
AF.

GrrrrrrrrrI've shown these pages to several of my gal pals now, and they ALL read a sexual context into Wolverine attempting to paddle Kitty. What has the world come to? Anyway, preserving th first and last panels, I'm going to come up with something else to fill the space between. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

They'd probably lock up my Dutch uncle that used to tickle kids. All kids, when they least expected or wanted it, and not understand he was absolutely a normal and very nice and moral man. He worked as a school custodian/janitor for ages and had to quit when one girl was hit on her bicycle and died near the school, it just broke his heart and felt maybe he could've done something somehow. Had two kids of his own he rarely saw after a divorce and keeps their rooms exactly as they left them way back in the 1970s. I can't imagine seeing Wolverine as... well, don't want to type it never mind think it. So silly.
The pendulum swings from one extreme (codes of silence, suck it up and keep going) to another (everyone talking about everything all the time, everyone a victim).
