How did you intend for her powers to work?

That's how she was able to spot Nightcrawler with her back to him. As Chris scripted it, it just looked like I drew it wrong. (Also -- infrared vision. Come on! How ORDINARY!)

Wow! I've enjoyed this issue since I got it brand new off the stand and I NEVER noticed the "500" in the rubble until this very second! Well done!!

That 500 is cool. Only took about 30 years to get it, nice payoff.

I was planning something similar to that 500 for the cover of HIDDEN YEARS when I hit 100 in the "hidden" issue numbers, which would have been issue 34.

Putting the selling price of the X-Men #137 page into perspective, a complete Gene Colan story from Daredevil #77 just went for $22K on Heritage. Nineteen pages of Colan inked by Tom Palmer from 1971, with Spider-Man and the Sub-Mariner guest-starring...and you could get three complete issues at that price for the cost of that single page by JB and Terry Austin. I guess there are still some bargains to be found in the original art world.

I guess there are still some bargains to be found in the original art world. •• This is how my Rembrandt etching has saved me money over the years. Worth every penny I paid for it, in that respect. Every time I high ticket item comes along, and I find myself reaching for my wallet, there's some part of my brain that compares the cost to what I paid for the Rembrandt. Like, for instance, about ten years ago I was offered all the interior pages of a GREEN LANTERN issue by Gil Kane. One of the very early ones. So early, in fact, that it was one of the ones I'd missed, due to the lousy distribution in my part of Canada back then. So, the fact that I had not actually owned the printed comic certainly influenced my decision not to buy the book. But an even bigger influence was that the asking price was twice as much as the Rembrandt!

*********
Just had to jump in here and mention that this proves how ridiculous (in the awesome sense of the word) and sensory-overloading the experience of visiting JB's house is...I was there for at least a few hours, toured the house, took pictures, fawned over artowrk...and totally missed a Rembrandt etching!!!
We now return to your regularly scheduled thread...

Joe, the "dinning room" is like walking into a small museum. The item that struck me dumb was the Dillinger fingerprint card. At that point I realized just how truly eclectic the accumulation is in the home and when JB showed me a ceremonial jade dagger it dawned on me that there could be a mountain of fun stuff not even on display!!
