I don't want to drift this thread far, but I would have loved to seen artwork by JB and one of the Brothers Buscema.

I think the cover of Incredible Hulk Annual #14 was pencilled by Sal and inked by JB.

Simonson over Byrne is interesting but, for me, Walt's inks are too overpowering.

But they were just what I wanted for that issue!

Back to this - JB, how did it come about that you wrote/brokedown this issue, with Walt finishing it? Heck, the Magneto/Doom story you penciled and inked in the back really surprised me.

A couple of "spontaneous" jobs that left too little impression for me to remember how they came about.

Still, it was such a pleasant surprise. And I didn't mind how strong Walt was on this - he'd only just left X-FACTOR but never inked the interiors, so it became a nice sendoff for him. Since it was more "his" book than yours, it seemed appropriate that the art reflected that.

When I was a kid, I suspected that you started the issue right in the action to avoid having to draw Archangel. I was really bummed because I wanted to see that after reading the solicit ahead of time!

Probably true! Didn't care for that character.
