 Very nice, JB. How would something like this get priced? By the character, or was it done differently?

JB, IIRC, you have usually said that you don't like your own lettering, but the one on the page looks pretty good.

Copying (rather poorly) Tom Orzechowski.

Looks awesome, JB.

Did you do it the same way as the covers recreations using a lightbox?

Yep -- it all starts with a lightbox. I've tried an
Artograph, but somehow that alters my line. I like the
result, but it doen't look "comicbook".

Another phenomenal piece.

Would you try recreating a page completely-- changes the storytelling and
layouts?

I did one of those a few years back. I don't know if it's online anywhere. It was from the FF vs X-Skrulls issue.

If you decide on a price please let me know.  As you may or may not know it has been a dream of mine to own a particular MTU 59 interior page, but it is in a private collection and not for sale.  Besides I'd rather you get the money.

As long as we're here -- a brief art lesson. Note the bad cropping on this page. Why cut off Cyclops' foot and toes in panel four? Why chop Jean's toes in panel five? Cyke's foot again, in panel six. For that matter, why not pull back a bit and show Peter's foot in the first panel?

(Note, too, that Chris placed a balloon over Jean's foot in panel six, and tho Orz did his best to work around it, Terry still had to crimp her toes to make it fit.)
