Zaladane?•• Yup! And this is annoying, since I had to look up reference on Garrok, not having internalized that character. I guess I flipped to a page Zaladane wasn't on!

Segueing briefly into the time travel thread, it would be somewhat gratifying to step thru a wormhole to 1977, with this piece tucked under my arm, to show my younger self that it will, in the long result, work out okay!++ How would your younger self feel with how long you stayed on the book? Or how you decided to leave? •• He'd be disappointed -- until I told him he'd be leaving to write and draw the Fantastic Four!

Did you already have the offer for the FF before you actually left UXM?

Sorta kinda. I was going to be WRITING the FF, with Bill continuing to draw. Then when I dropped X-MEN, it seemed logical that I should draw the FF, too -- especially since Bill and Doug were eager to devote all their energies to MOON KNIGHT.

Ah. I remembered the part about the scripting, but didn't remember the time-frame. Did you have to do any kind of writing "try-out?" Were they willing to simply hand their flagship title over to an unproven comics writer?

I wasn't really "unproven". I'd been doing the lion's share of the plotting on UNCANNY for about a year. Shooter, whose decision it was to give me the FF, knew my command of the English language was sufficient to the task of putting words in the balloons and captions!It wasn't a seamless transition, of course. Took me about a year to purge myself of the many Claremontian ticks and mannerisms I'd picked up working with him.

Thanks for the back-and-forth. I love getting these little insights into the workings of my favorite mags.

I finally got around to re-scanning the Caliban sketch. Because of my original Smurf-sized scanner I had to scan it in two parts which led to some confusion. Enjoy.

My beef with this is: Caliban should really be the name of a troglodyte,
evolutionary throwback and this guy looks too...delicate.
