Yes, but there is also a strong compulsion to read left to right and top to bottom.*
*Edited to correct me getting my left and right in a mess.

And as I say, your layout is logical and it is not meant as a criticism in any sense other than as constructive feedback. Just reporting what my eye/brain did, if that is any use. I don't know whether it's the eye absorbing the whole panel, or an inclination to read clockwise, but I did get myself in a pickle for a moment wondering whether it was Manta's utterance in the panel that 'the cry' referred to.

Ahh... black with stars. Makes sense and I recall hearing it before. Just forgot, along with a whole bunch of other stuff!

Cockrum's name seems to pop up often when I read articles of seventies Marvel . An influential member of that bullpen. I've never read anything about him being reclusive but I swear there's more pictures of Ditko out there than him .

The X-Men Companion vol. 1 has an almost 40 page interview with Cockrum (and a photo)

When young punks like Frank Miller, George Perez, Michael Golden and, yes, me started showing up*, fans were quick to embrace our stuff—most of which was quite different from what had come before. Dave was quickly cast as belonging to the previous “generation” and—worse!—mostly a DC guy. Thru no fault of his own, he got shuffled to the side, and his inability to pump out huge volumes of work got him cut from the book he helped found. —— * Not a comprehensive list.

I'm glad they invited him back for a short time after
you left. Can't recall how many issues he got to do.

I believe he actually did more issues during his second run...
