I don't want to drift this thread far, but I would have loved to seen artwork by JB and one of the Brothers Buscema.

I think the cover of Incredible Hulk Annual #14 was pencilled by Sal and inked by JB.

Simonson over Byrne is interesting but, for me, Walt's inks are too overpowering.

But they were just what I wanted for that issue!

Back to this - JB, how did it come about that you wrote/brokedown this issue, with Walt finishing it? Heck, the Magneto/Doom story you penciled and inked in the back really surprised me.

A couple of "spontaneous" jobs that left too little impression for me to remember how they came about.

Still, it was such a pleasant surprise. And I didn't mind how strong Walt was on this - he'd only just left X-FACTOR but never inked the interiors, so it became a nice sendoff for him. Since it was more "his" book than yours, it seemed appropriate that the art reflected that.

When I was a kid, I suspected that you started the issue right in the action to avoid having to draw Archangel. I was really bummed because I wanted to see that after reading the solicit ahead of time!

Probably true! Didn't care for that character.

Let's turn this topic around!  Has JB ever inked (or where has he inked) the following:

Neal Adams
Jack Kirby
Frank Miller
Walt Simonson

I know he's inked Steve Ditko a few times (ROM #74, AVENGERS ANNUAL #13, CHARLTON BULLSEYE #1&2).  I really enjoyed the final issue of CHAMPIONS where he inked George Tuska!  Any other surprising pairings out there?

JB did a great job inking a Kirby Spider-Man drawing and I think JB inked one panel in a Walter Simonson drawn comic.

That was in GENERATIONS 3. I forgot about that!

How about MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE 43’s cover? Was that a Byrne/Simonson
or a Simonson/Byrne?
