Ok, I know I am a little late to the party, but what a
party it is. This is great, and these are incredible.
Thank you for sharing, JB!

These pages are great! I always liked Joe Rubinstein's inks over JB back in the day.

I should probably mention, for the benefit of those of you who are starting to see this a me laying down a yellow brick road back to Marvel, that even if that happened, you'd not be likely to see these pages there.

STORY: When I set my eyes on THE DEMON, at DC, I did a whole "pilot" issue, on spec. 22 pencil pages. I showed these to the powers that were, and the reaction was, to say the least, enthusiastic. We were all set to go. Then one of the higher higher ups stepped in to say we could not use that issue, as I had drawn it when not under contract. I offered to sign any kind of releases necessary, but no go. So I ended up breaking up the issue and using the pages where applicable in other stories.

Same thing is likely to be the case with Marvel.

I also agree that Dan Green would be ideal. He also has an almost 7 year stint as X-men inker.

Not referring specifically to Dan, but that kind of thing can bring along a unconscious "Need to Fix This" attitude.

I don't know how well it would mesh, but they seem to use Jay Leisten as the inker on X-Men comics in recent years.

JB, back in the days at Marvel how did inkers get placed with artists/teams? Was it all EIC, editor or artist request?

I wonder what Trevor Scott would make these look like? I really loved his inks on your Atom work. It just unexpectedly worked well. He had his own line and style, but everything still followed your lines pretty faithfully.
