I'm enjoying the way things are playing out in ELSEWHEN so much that I haven't given much thought to how, when or why things are diverging from the earlier ones.

Key is not to think of this as divergent, or alternate. It is what it is, largely unconnected to anything else (unless I’m being cute).

This afternoon I realized I was approaching a point at which the Starjammers could be inserted into the tale currently on the drawingboard. A wee salute to Dave Cockrum. Then I took a brief refresher course on Google, and was reminded of what a horrible mess those characters represented, even before a few decades of additional debris was shoveled into them. Urk. The research also led me to Vulcan. No bad idea ever goes unused, it seems. sigh

Was that tourist Walt Simonson? Because my first thought upon seeing this latest page was that no one else alive could have accomplished it, except maybe Walt. Really lovely. It covers so much, extremely elegantly.

A wee salute to Dave Cockrum------------------------------------------------- Hmmmm....I guess Scott wouldn't know that Corsair was his father yet at this point in the continuity. Might be a fun follow up to the "Hey, I look like Corsair when I sport a mustache" from the Savage Land outing.
And re: Vulcan- you mean you DIDN'T draw Kate Summers as 6 months pregnant when she appeared in Scott's fractured memories? tsk tsk
(which then reminded me of how Dave drew Storm's mom pregnant with Storm's sibling in the flashback in 102 so that he could introduce Storm's brother down the line)

That one panel in X-Men #115 you drew with Cyclops looking at his semi-bearded face in the stream and realizing he looked a lot like Corsair (his father)---man, that image really stuck with me.
The art in that issue was particularly striking in so many ways! (...too bad they messed up the colorization of Colossus on the cover.)
Good gracious! If I could do what you can do with a pencil...

Couldn't parse the words on the shirt (yet!)...but my first thought it was the man himself (JB).

Me too!
I can't help thinking it would've been better for the overall health of the title if
that were the last time Corsair was ever heard of.

I hated the idea of Cyclops’ father being a “space pirate”. Not only miles away from the essential mandate of X-MEN, but suddenly Scott was no longer “ordinary”. Remember, that was the initial premise: the characters were “ordinary” until their mutations kicked in.
