Tim they should've recorded that whole experience for 60 MINUTES or some sort of comicbook history documentary.

That would be an amazing film, Joe - penciler and inker talking about the pages of such a historic story
Over the last year, I've been thinking a book featuring the pages from the collaboration with their commentary would be a better manifestation of this. When Terry Austin is ready to sell his pages, I think he and JB should strike a book deal at the same time. JB and TA collaborated on more than the X-Men, and to focus on just their collaboration would be unique and fascinating look at the penciler/inker team from Star Lord to Doom Patrol.
And it would be good to look at this work through the prism of TA's inks as I think Marvel has sold him short in recent years by not featuring his name on the cover of recent Dark Phoenix trades. I never thought that was right.
It's a natural for a book, featuring pics of the original art - which would look amazing in a large format.

sidenote: Man, look at all the feathering in those pencils. Pretty, pretty technique.

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!

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