 *******
 
 A nomination, anyway.  The effect was rather like "Hey, JB!  We love your stuff as long as you don't write it, and you draw in somebody else's style!"

          Well.  I believe that JB is writing under a pen name.  But, I
will resist putting any more info supporting my previous choice or
anyother hunches I have on the board, and let it go.  Someday
(hopefully) we may all learn the truth.

          JB:  Whats the minimum number of people that would have to know it was you doing the Pen name gig, at DC?

       |  In other words, could he consciously take on a 
whole different style, something more Image-y, and make it work to the
 point where you wouldn't even know it was him?

 He could probably pull off a Bruce Timm- type, animated looking style 
and no one would be the wiser.<!-- Message  ''"" -->

 I actually tried to find out if his name was A. Joe Lieberman, but I couldnt find a middle initial.

          Thanks, Frank. The only thing I could really tell was JB was Stan in the first panel. I am now going to get BA:DD&D TPB.

          JB - to slightly divert the topic here, have there been previous books that you have ghostwritten or used a pen name under that you could share with us?

          This is a hoot! I admit I'm out of my depth here: my

 |  acquaintance with DC writers is next to zero. But
 since ignorance does seem to be a pass to
 admission in this discussion, I'd like to add this:
 
 JB is about as cunning a writer working in the field
 today and he keeps many arrows in the quiver.
 Looking for obvious devices like the narrative overlap
 preceding a page transition seems to me to be the
 first track he would cover up. I think that's a red
 herring.
 
 Speaking of red herrings, every time someone writes
 "A. J. Leiberman" I see "Leiber", Stan Lee's real
 name. I wonder if there's anything to that?
 
 Lastly according to my trusty internet language
 translator "leiber" translates to "bodies" from
 German. " A. J. Bodies Man".  There, clear as mud,
 right?
