I also was thinking about the commission possibilities that list could generate!

Man it's funny how, when you tell the plot, the ol' Byrne/Austin pictures just pop into my head, although not nearly as clearly as I would like! What a story!!

OH MY!! JB, you mentioned you and Terry Austin was discussing the possibility of doing some commissions together... How 'bout auctioning off some covers from the issues you'd planned in the outline.
Talk about a money making machine for you two. It would really stir up the nostalgic feelings we all feel toward your run, plus the winner would feel as he owns a part of history, which would add a great deal of fuel to the bidding war. On the ebay listing you could post a scan of Cory's outline with a brief sentence or two explaining the cover's intended storyline. Man seeing these covers would be incredible! If you two teamed up, it would really drive home the nostalgia of that great era. It'd be like the Beatles getting back together to cut a few new singles!
I know it's probably too far fetched, but a man has got to dream!

Just because something is controversial now does not mean it would be controversial then. Not only was the political climate different so is the culture. 1981 or so was a long time off from the current "culture wars." I bet nothing would have come of it except for a debate in the letters columns.
"Lost stories" such as this break my heart. Just looking at that page of basic plots and JB's explanation creates that heart rending feeling of "This is cool" I used to get all the time from comics, but rarely get now.

Thanks very much for posting that outline Cory. I love seeing it but it
makes me sad for what should have been. I really wish those stories had
been done.
And that is a good idea Steve had, btw.

When I clean out my closet, I find old bubble gum wrappers and broken
lampshades that I once thought were salvagable. Cory, however, finds
unused plots to the X-Men in the artist's own hand!!! Why doesn't my closet
spit out treasures like this!!! If this is what's tucked away in the closet, can
you imagine what's hidden in Cory's comparatively larger garage? A lost
Hemingway novel? Newer testaments to the bible?

There have been other treasures that found their way out the closet and into the Gallery.
Caliban, who would have been a member of the New Team as noted issues #135- #138.
