When I started on FANTASTIC FOUR I was turning in finished issues about five months before they went on sale. This has long been my preferred lead time, what Frank Miller used to call a "No F**k Ups" lead, meaning there was plenty of time for correcting every flaw that could be found. Not a perfect plan, of course. The first issue of HIDDEN YEARS was finished three months before it went on sale, but it still shipped late due to incompetence in the office. (I realize that's water under a long ago bridge, but it robbed me of ever again being able to say no book of mine had ever shipped late. And then, of course, the same thing happened with the twelfth issue!)
