On the Roger McKenzie thread, JB mentions Frank Miller telling him about problems working with McKenzie. That makes sense--Miller was a new artist and McKenzie was already established on the title--I've wondered since I was a kid if the writer was at all "pushed out" by the up-and-coming artist who wanted to write (or by the editor who saw Miller's potential).
This (and JB's Claremont stories) makes me wonder about all the other "co-plotters' teams (mostly from 1980's Marvel) I enjoyed!
I always assumed these co-plotter teams were friendly endeavors, perhaps even pushed by the writer & artist. David Michelinie and Bob Layton always certainly seemed like friends going back to DC days, two (or three) stints on IRON MAN and some other stories. Are they the exception or the rule?
Any other insight you can share in this, JB? And then, after JB, anybody else?
