I'd be curious to see Danny Miki ink John's stuff.

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

Really? He wasn't all that great on JRjr.

Seems like I've read where he use(d)(s) assistants and it may not even have been him anyway.

Story behind those three pages ---

An assistant editor called me up one day and asked if I would be interested in doing three pages for an X-Men "jam" book. I had some time available, so I said yes, and the plot was sent to me. Seemed a bit terse for a Claremont plot, even for just three pages, but I paced it out to the count requested and sent it in. The next thing I knew Bob Harras was calling to tell me the plot was for ONE page. Perhaps I should have guessed -- it was appropriately verbose for Chris writing a single page. However, a single page was not what I'd been asked for -- somewhere along the line they'd changed their minds about how many pages the scene needed to be, but nobody thought to tell me!!

Christos, did those pages come from a TPB? Because the colors look much more messed up than I remember. Looks like some lines were dropped in this version, too.

I saw a few JB drawings that Scott Williams inked and they were incredible!!

I would say Al Williamson and Paul Neary.... who I think inked one JB cover.

Scott Williams inks appear rather overwhelming.  It's hard for me to see alot of JB in there.  I do like him paired up with Jim Lee, though.

Thanks for posting Christos. Williams adds a very different look to JB's pencils but I like it.

I think Bob Wiacek is my favorite JB inker. And I really loved that Tony
DeZuniga inked Spider-Man/Thor story in MARVEL TEAM-UP. In fact,
if JB ever did a run on THOR DeZuniga would be my first choice to ink
that series.
