As I have said several times, I don’t want to sell this book on nostalgia.

This thread needs its own F.A.Q.!

Most inkers I was going to suggest have already been mentioned, but I don’t think there’s been any talk of John Beatty. I’ve enjoyed everything he’s inked of yours, I think he’d do a killer job on those pages. Came across this picture of you two which was taken in 1987, pretty funny photo! Would be interesting to see the JB’s work together again.

I would love to see Kevin Nowlan ink this but somehow I don't think JB would be thrilled with the idea.

Leonard would be my first choice.


I reread TRIPLE HELIX Wednesday night.

O’Grady is a good pick!

*Since I have the TPBs, I decided to give my individual issues of TRIO
and TRIPLE HELIX to a student. I’ll check in on Monday to see what he
thinks of them.

I vote for Bob Wiacek. He has always done a great job on JB’s books.

I would love to see this series inked, coloured, lettered
and published. I pray to dog for this to happen.

I paid $14,000 for a Rembrandt. An etching, but a REMBRANDT.

I paid almost $13k for a page from FF #236. Just wish I'd started collecting ten years ago instead of 2.5 years ago.

Some of the best and tightest inks I’ve seen on JB’s work in years were the ones done by the guy that inked Triple Helix. ;-)

The pricing on original art is insane. I bought my first Kirby page for around $50, circa 1977. Twenty years ago I bought my most recent for 100 times that, and today we can add another zero.

And it’s all artificial and completely arbitrary.
