Tim they should've recorded that whole experience for 60 MINUTES or some sort of comicbook history documentary.

That would be an amazing film, Joe - penciler and inker talking about the pages of such a historic story

Over the last year, I've been thinking a book featuring the pages from the collaboration with their commentary would be a better manifestation of this.  When Terry Austin is ready to sell his pages, I think he and JB should strike a book deal at the same time.  JB and TA collaborated on more than the X-Men, and to focus on just their collaboration would be unique and fascinating look at the penciler/inker team from Star Lord to Doom Patrol.

And it would be good to look at this work through the prism of TA's inks as I think Marvel has sold him short in recent years by not featuring his name on the cover of recent Dark Phoenix trades.  I never thought that was right.

It's a natural for a book, featuring pics of the original art - which would look amazing in a large format.

I knew I had this someplace, from 1980

sidenote: Man, look at all the feathering in those pencils. Pretty, pretty technique.

Tim - MAKE IT HAPPEN!

I'd love to see a book documenting the career of two of the greatest artists in comic book history discussing their joint contributions to the field.

I agree that this shouldnt be just about X-men either.  Their work on Star-lord still looks very fresh even today (i know John will point to technique flaws but hey!).

Its amazing though, they did all the Uncanny X-men stuff back in the late 70s and it still hasnt been beaten yet.

Still represents the pinnacle of the industry for me - anything else has just  paled in comparison with a few notable exceptions.

Not the first time I've seen the pencils but they are just glorious!
Thanks for sharing!

That may be the most subtle expression of "their old stuff was better" I have yet seen!

Didn't they release the original story, in color, once? I remember
reading it, in color.
