I just noticed another change - the villain from "This Man, This Monster" (FF#51), is not in the original B&W version. Sorry, I forget his name offhand. But he is right below Annihilus in the color poster.

The puppet is JB in the color version. I recently had the full-size poster
professionally framed, and it has confused many people who have seen it
hanging in my hallway.

On the colored poster version, I believe it's JB as the puppet.

What was the most amount of figures that you have drawn in one scene?

*****

Hmmmm. . . . I've done quite a few crowd scenes in my day. Not sure which one would qualify for the most figures. Anyone else have a guess?

I'd say that lengthy Marvel Universe Handbook mural you did that was
used for the covers of the series would qualify as the largest crowd of
recognizable characters.

Don't think that counts. Wasn't drawn as a single
piece.

Then as far as number of recognizable characters goes, the FF poster
stands out in my mind, although there were some interesting crowd
scenes in 2112, if I'm remembering correctly.

I can recall doing a number of crowd scenes with both gods and civilians in FOURTH WORLD. Large clumps of Inhumans turned up from time to time in FANTASTIC FOUR, too. (These are the kinds of shots that have me sitting at my drawing board thinking Why have I done this to myself? )

Thanks for the key!

I still have the poster mounted on foam core. 

I had no idea there were different versions, or that it is different from the original drawing.  I checked the FAQ but didn't see answers to a few questions I had, so...

Where is the Attuma drawing lifted from?
Who changed the FF uniforms in the poster from positive to negative?
Was the artwork produced for a different purpose then shelved until the uniform change in the comic?

Thanks!

Temporary delusion that you're George Pérez, perhaps?
