Correct.

Despite some good stories coming from that era (by way of Bill Mantlo, Peter David, and some bum named Byrne), that storyline really started the Hulk down the path of constant change and instability he still treads to this day.

Banner controlling the Hulk led to the mindless Hulk, which led to the child-abuse origin, which led to JB separating Banner and the Hulk, which led to the grey Hulk's return, which led to Peter David's run, which led to Joe Fixit, which led to the "merged" Hulk, which led to lots and lots of incarnations for the character.

I've always wondered just how different things would have been had JB stayed aboard. We know that he intended to take the Hulk back to the beginning, both in appearance and personality. I also have a theory about how that might have happened, and about the "very, very important death" JB alluded to in interviews of the day. Of course, I'd love to know specifics about what would have happened, but JB's Rule Number One must be respected.

Ah, what might have been...

It's Jack Kirby and John Byrne...all at the same time!

Nobody draws ugly teeth as well.

******************

How about teeth in general? I've seen several mouths depicted in comics recently full of cuspids only! No molars. No incisors. Just fangs. And these were human characters, not some weird scary monsters.

I know exactly what you are talking about.  All the teeth today are sharp as razors.  I always blamed the inker for this

and JB's characters have gums too! That seems to be a problem for some other artists too. I don't know about every other person in the world...but my teeth do not come right out of the roof of my mouth!

And as much as some of us may like Frank Miller, not only do I blame him for Wolverine's flat-blade claws, but he gets the blame for Logan having fangs, which, naturally, hot-shots took to the extreme.

Some artists seem to forget that Wolverine is a man with a few animal-like attributes, not an animal who happens to somewhat resemble a man.
