In my first issue Bill Mantlo wrote Giant-Man fighting Stiltman. Many’s the time I’ve said a surprising number of writers don’t think in pictures. They don’t SEE what it is they’re asking for. Most of the time this manifests as multiple camera angles in the same panel or—worse—actual movement. In this case it was Bill not seeing that Stiltman got TALLER but not BIGGER. Giant-Man was much bigger than him, even if they were the same height.I called Bill and pointed this out. He said “Cheat.” I had to cheat like crazy. That Sentinel/G-M moment was kind of a way to cleanse my palette.
