Assistant Editor's Month was a great deal of fun. I liked the "White Issue" - I thought it was pretty darned clever, although I wouldn't want it to become a regular occurrence!
What else happened in Assistant Editor's Month? I remember an Aunt May/Franklin Richards pairing in Marvel Team-Up, "Bernie America" in Captain America and the Avengers visiting David Letterman's show. Oh, and Fred Hembeck drew that month's Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man. Fun stuff!

The answer to how much JB got paid for the blank pages is in the FAQs. I'm curious about where the idea came from.

I love the design of all the Great Beasts. They're a wonderful addition to Marvel's mythology.
JB, were any of the Great Beasts based on Inuit/Eskimo mythology? You certainly captured the feeling of it.

i remember reading somewhere Frank Miller wanted to do an issue of Daredevil completely from Matt Murdock's perspective. I wonder if this would have been akin to the result.

I thought it was great at the time. I really felt like I got a sense of the fight from the panel layouts, sound effects, and whatnot.
Well done, JB. This is one of my favorite Alpha Flights.

Given that something "really different" had to happen in all of the Asst Editor
Month titles, I thought this and Simonson turning Thor into a frog were
brilliant ways of handling the editorial fiat and not doing anything that
would break the stories.
(JB turning up in the FF this month was equally brilliant)
I remember turning to those pages and laughing out loud. Not because they
were so funny, but because the twist was so unexpected.
JB - did you have to do any extraordinary pleading to keep the "warning"
label off of the cover?

I loved imagining the action in those pages -- the very careful placement of
dialogue and sound effects along with the clever use of Neal Adams-style
panel layouts made it easy to follow the story and action.
I always imagined that JB had drawn material for those panels and just opted
to not run it as part of the Ass. Ed.'s month, and it was great fun imagining
what all that missing art looked like!

Let's just say "yes" -- and leave it at that!
