JB hop into your time machine. Go back and tell that young pup that eventually he'll be on an even playing field with Neal Adams.
••
Presumably I would be borrowing that time machine from my Future Self who had come back to give me the news?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``
Naturally you young pup :)

Eric...of course the covers are sumbolic!I just saw the cover and an obsarvation came up!this does not reduce the value of the artist or of the cover!
¨n any case, I smell editorial meddling. I'd bet a nickel Neal drew Ra's holding just the shirt and the cape, or drew hair on Batman's leg.¨¨
LOL!!!!! Mr Byrne...did you really had those kind of matters????I am asking this cause you were the definite artist in drawing a really HAIRY Wolverine!
And the most truthfull to a real hairy guy!(it happens for me to be one ,not in the scale of wolvie...)
I have seen many artists drawing bodyhair in the most awkward kind of type and places!

Certainly think it can be argued that ... Rob Liefeld :) are better than Neal Adams.

Give the man a cigar! Here's the story:
Adams explained: “It’s because (editor) Julie Schwartz refused to let me have bare legs on Batman. It was OK to do the bare chest, but if he had his pants off that would imply that he had taken his shorts off as well. So you couldn’t do that. So I said ‘But he’s got a costume!’ and Julie says, ‘Nobody will notice.’ And it’s true.”
In my case at least, Schwartz was right. I didn't notice it when I first got the issue (as 6-year-old). Didn't notice until years later.

Julie had an annoying habit of being "logical" in all the wrong places. Once he was in Joey Cavaleri's office when I turned in some GENERATIONS pages. He looked over Joey's shoulder, pointed to a panel and asked "What's being reflected in Clark Kent's classes?""Windows!" said Joey and I, almost simultaneously.

When I read/hear Neal talk about his approach to comics, it's clear how much
his innovations were a combination of talent and clear thinking. It wasn't that
he just tried to figure out how to make things DIFFERENT, but more like trying
to make them as GOOD as they should be. For example, he admired the inking
of Stan Drake and noticed many textures that no one was using in comic
books-- so (because he was good enough at them) he got to be the first guy
to use them widely. He identified several such opportunities in coloring and
style (not the least of which was remembering how COOL the Batman should
really be).
It's maybe not an easy thing to say properly, but I sense this kind of thinking in
the career of John Byrne as well --identifying overlooked opportunities to
make things as cool as they SHOULD be, and stepping in whenever possible.

The pants thing doesn't bother me, in much the same way as a UK Spider-Man comic cover once featured Jameson smoking a cigar - whilst unconscious.
And in a 60s Superman comic, Perry White was dressed as Superman, but removed his mask - and was happily smoking a cigar. All part of the charm.
