Tim - MAKE IT HAPPEN!

I'd love to see a book documenting the career of two of the greatest artists in comic book history discussing their joint contributions to the field.

I agree that this shouldnt be just about X-men either.  Their work on Star-lord still looks very fresh even today (i know John will point to technique flaws but hey!).

Its amazing though, they did all the Uncanny X-men stuff back in the late 70s and it still hasnt been beaten yet.

Still represents the pinnacle of the industry for me - anything else has just  paled in comparison with a few notable exceptions.

Not the first time I've seen the pencils but they are just glorious!
Thanks for sharing!

That may be the most subtle expression of "their old stuff was better" I have yet seen!

Didn't they release the original story, in color, once? I remember
reading it, in color.

So, they made you, JB redo those pages without paying for the rework;
but they published both versions. I hope they made that right.
