Claremont wrote a lot of the books with which I have the most attachment. For that, he gets my respect.

JB, you've said before that one of the reasons you left X-Men was because you were tired of fighting but do you feel that fighting made better stories? And would you ever think about co writing a series with someone again?

I apologize if I misspoke. I had read when you'd said that you and
Chris were like Gilbert and Sullivan banging into each other and That
he drove you nuts, so much so you left the book. I am sorry if I
misconstrued your statement.

FanDid you guys ID artists and writers you liked when you were in
your pre-teens and teens?============== I remember knowing artists I couldn't stand like Caremon Infantino,
or Steve Dikto. (Sorry, I couldn't stand them in the second half of the
70s. I and friend were convinced they'd put Infantino on the books
they planned to cancel. Every book he took over was canceled, in our
opinion back then.) I also remembered quickly learning David Michelle's name as one of
my favorite writers and Clarmont too. Byrne for both art and writing.
I think I started liking Perez back then and in my teens I learned
Frank Miller. I am sure there were others.

I actually started readin the Xmen at issue 144 (nice timing) as a young man, so Cockrum's run is something I really enjoyed. As these comics were coming out, the first comic shops were coming into existence, allowing me to spend my allowance on back issues. I then backtracked most of the Byrne Xmen run. I first knew John as my favorite creator on Fantastic Four....which was my first and only subscription from Marvel.

For me, ESPECIALLY when I had just started collecting comics, the best comic book stores weren't the ones who had 3 walls of new comics and racks of action figures and trades. It was the shops that had rows of back issue bins from A to Z. If all I saw was a wall of new books, I'd be in and out of there in 10 minutes. But a REAL comic book store with loads of stuff that stretched back years and years, I could spend the rest of the day getting lost in there.

UInfortunately, back issue bins are filling faster than the books are turning around. We were so full and we just didn't have the realestate to expand them any further. The market changed with trades and collections coming out so fast and without a real collectors market, well stores have to to adapt to the changing market. We became more of a game store than a comics store, though I would say for us it really went as far back as M:TG taking us that route.

Part 2. Haven't read it yet but scrolling through it looks like this one covers a lot more ground.
