John or Wayne Osborne,

If you don't mind me asking, I am very excited about your comic book and wondered how far along it has come.  Can you say how long it will be before you will show more of it?

Those are impressive breakdowns.  I know that some artists work from their own pencilled pages that are less detailed than that.

What would be a good example of you providing breakdowns for another artist?  (If you've done that in the past.)  Any project that you think turned out particularly well?

Now I'm even more eager to see the finished product and purchase it when
Wayne makes it available.

Has anything about the story been revealed?

I actually hope that nothing else gets posted til it's done and every page is
totally fresh...

but I'm sure I'll be among the first to check out the spoilers if they do come
out early..

This question is tougher to answer than you might think. What I gave to Tom Palmer on HIDDEN YEARS I was calling breakdowns, but they were really loose pencils. On WOLVERINE I gave Klause very loose breakdowns. I gave Joe Sinnott breakdowns on the FF issues we did together. Those jobs turned out pretty much as I expected.

The worst experience, tho, was on some of the ACTION COMICS issues, where I did breakdowns and the inkers just inked what was on the page, adding no textures, spotting no blacks. One even complained that the "pencils were really loose!" "That's why you get paid extra to tighten them, knucklehead," said I.

Have you provided basic layouts for pencillers to work from?  How did that work out...

Just to clarify, was this back in the 80s or your recent run with Gail?

The original run, in the 80s. The recent run, as can be seen in the scans in the GALLERY, was tight pencils.
