Every time I read that X-Men panel, I like to pretend that the pissed off guy to the far right in the Anarchy t-shirt is David Byrne. (Could you imagine David Byrne getting temporary superhuman powers and running amok all over late 70's Manhattan? If they would have licensed his likeness, and made him Dazzler's arch-nemesis, Dazzler could have been Marvel's Wonder Woman.)

RE: the Spawn pic posted by Joe. Pretty amazing how distinctive the characters are by just their forearms.

That carries over even into other unofficial versions.  The Squadron Supreme series had a vote by the members in a two-panel show of hands, aye and nay, and just from the hands you could tell who was for, and who was against.

Here's the "unofficial" part of the Cerebus/Spawn issue:

Someone should do an unofficial crossover where Dr. Strange travels to the Spawn universe to defend the honor of his Cloak of Levitation.

Jim Shooter mentions on his blog that one of the jobs an editor has is to gauge what is written on the page against the artwork one gets back from the artist. Do they match? The example he used specifically was not allowing a perfectly calm looking character to scream, "Aaarrrgh!" 

Jim Shooter clearly did not edit the page shown above.

Image Comics was the beginning of the end for real editors. Look at what's gotten into comics since them!!

As I posted (erroneously, as it turns out) in the New Comics thread, last year IDW published an unlicensed crossover between their My Pretty Pony and Quantum Leap: proof here.

That's literally a snapshot inside Todd's mind.
I don't thing subtlety is what he was goiing for.


I was leafing through my Neal Adams Batman TPB the other night and there's a couple scenes where Marvelish characters pop up. There was a parade float in one (Cap makes an appearance where his shield has a star with six points) and a party scene where some people are dressed up in familiar Marvel costumes.

Man, I cannot stand Todd MacFarlane's work. I think he is but one (very) tiny step just above Rob Liefeld.

S'ym, one of Belasco's demons, appeared in the X-men shortly after the Wolveroach parody in Cerebus.
