I'm learning for the first time that there really is a 1407 Graymalkin Lane…•• Geez, it seems Marvel's lawyers would have been all over that!!

Gorgeous Jean! Thanks so much! The one thing that I keep saying that amazes me about this whole Elsewhen project is how seamlessly you're able to recapture the look of these characters again. That's the Jean that had adventures in Hidden Years, was woken from her cocoon in FF, and battled for her life in 137. Amazing!

JB,
From the artwork that you have tease on this site. Have other creators that were working at Marvel (especially, on the X-Men) during that time (1979/80) inquired about this project?
Thanks

Sorry, James, I don’t understand the question.

No problem.
Let me get a little granular with it.
Have folks like Roger Stern, Jim Salicrup, "Weezi" Simonson or Terry Austin commented about the pages you teased on this site?
Thanks

I'm not even going to comment on my excitement over this statement!
But, here's a question:
I know (via previous interviews) that you never intended to kill off Jean, but once she was dead, did YOU ever intend on bringing her back? (I know there was some sort of mess with how she ended up coming back for X-Factor)

Lovely looking picture of Jean. In the past, pictures of Jean by you have tended to have more 'open' hair. Is the presence of more black in the curls just a natural evolution of where your pencils are at right now?

This is where Jean was left in both versions of 137. Jean's hair turned dark when she became Dark Phoenix, and it stayed dark after the "lobotomy" (in the original version) as a subtle hint that all was not well. That continues in ELSEWHEN.

I know (via previous interviews) that you never intended to kill off Jean, but once she was dead, did YOU ever intend on bringing her back? (I know there was some sort of mess with how she ended up coming back for X-Factor)•• When Jean died at the end of 137, as far as Chris and I were concerned that was the real Jean, making the "ultimate sacrifice". But years later Kurt Busiek suggested that perhaps the Phoenix Entity had copied Jean for its purposes, and the real Jean was in a force bubble at the bottom of Jamaica Bay (where the shuttle had crashed). When it was decided to "get the band back together" for X-FACTOR, Roger Stern suggested this as a way of getting Jean into the group, so he and I concocted an AVENGERS/FF crossover that did just that. Given the way the character was subsequently messed up--too many cooks!--that may not have been a great idea. In ELSEWHEN, however, I am unencumbered by the whims of other writers.
