As I have mentioned before, during my tenure UNCANNY was always a heartbeat ahead of cancellation. But many fans tend to remember X-MEN in those days as their favorite, and thus assume it was always the big seller it came to be. Recall the tale of the fan at MidOhioCon who, somewhat belligerently, insisted I had become a millionaire during my time on the book. His “reasoning” ignored the fact that royalties did not come along until years later, and even had they been in place, the cover price was only around 35¢. My 1.5% share of that—after the first 100,000 were sold—would not have amounted to much.
