Is there any printed issue of any comic series that you wish you had drawn (or that you would have liked to have drawn)?

I know you've redone various issues of early SPIDER-MAN and retold (montage) various moments of history for the FF, X-MEN, SUPERMAN, BATMAN, and others, but would you have liked to draw more of Claremont's (or Doug Moench's) STAR-LORD magazine stories?  A particular Annual or MARVEL PREMIERE standalone story?  The first or final issue of SHE-HULK, the original DOOM PATROL or whoever?

(Not that the original artist did a bad job or anything, more like "That's a good story, I would have enjoyed drawing it!")

Let's see if we can open this up to the Forum.  Is there any specific story you wish were drawn by somebody else--and why.  (And not "I wish Neal Adams/John Byrne/George Perez drew everything!")  For instance:

I'd like to have seen Neal Adams finish the Kree-Skrull War in AVENGERS and that last issue of X-MEN before cancellation. 

FF #300 by JB? That would have been something. 

Me, I'd have loved to have seen a run up to a double-size X-MEN #150 with plots and pencils by JB. 

Starlin did a follow-up that was supposed to be for a Spectacular that would have been the length of three regular issues--but the new editor decided to squeeze it into two regular issues (#250-251), and the story was heavily edited and pages rearranged or eliminated.  Starlin took his name off the book (credited to "Steve Apollo") and Joe Rubinstein refused to ink in solidarity.

Recently on Facebook, Rubinstein said he wished he went ahead and inked it--and so do I!  The story was wounded, but Dave Hunt inking Starlin killed it.  Rubinstein inking it would have at least saved the 41 pages that were published.

Of course, as long as we're wishing, I wish they would have printed the whole story the way Starlin intended.  I'll never understand why these editors--when lucky enough to get a super-star talent to do their series--act heavy-handed with them.  At the very least, here, we could have had THREE great issues by Starlin & Rubinstein!

As bad as Secret Wars II was, I'd have liked to have seen Mike Zeck drawing it rather than Milgrom/Leialoha. 

1. LUKE CAGE--What a great character, but most of the artists of the original series just didn't cut it.  And they had a good one right at the beginning!  I would have liked to have seen George Tuska and, yes, Vince Colletta do all of the first 30 issues or more.

2. IRON FIST--After an incredible origin story, this MARVEL PREMIERE series was a bit of a mess.  Claremont and Byrne coming on board at the end is a great example of how a series can be saved!

3. SON OF SATAN--A series that was very well-written by Steve Gerber, but only the two (MARVEL SPOTLIGHT) issues drawn by Gene Colan really looked right.  With the wrong talent at the beginning, the character has mostly been on the scrap heap for fifty years.

4. SHE-HULK, MS. MARVEL, NOVA--All of these started with great John Buscema art and were followed up by the wrong or mixed-bag artists--and then got cancelled at around issue #25.  Later (and present MCU) handling showed how important they could be to the Marvel Universe at large, but it always feels like catch-up because they didn't have solid beginnings.  Sal Buscema did some of the issues, but it would have been great if he could have done more--or Dave Cockrum doing more than two issues of MS. MARVEL!

5. Tom Sutton is quite a unique and talented artist, but sometimes off-putting.  That one SEEKER 3000 (MARVEL PREMIERE #41) feels like it really could have been something under a sleeker artist.  (It sort of WAS, when writer Doug Moench later did the similar independent SIX FROM SIRIUS with Paul Gulacy drawing.)  The Dave Cockrum cover was great, maybe he could have penciled (he later did STAR TREK) with Terry Austin inks.

6. THE NEW UNIVERSE.  Didn't almost every series have three different creative teams do the first three issues?  That tells the reader that you're not serious and they bail.  Starting a new "company" seems like the perfect opportunity to bring in the big guns of the time (with the emphasis on realism) like Brent Anderson, Paul Gulacy, maybe Tony DeZuniga and some others...but it looks like they had a round robin of whoever was available instead.

1. Curt Swan was so great in so many ways, especially regular people and settings.  I would have loved to see him do a private detective or crime story--possibly one of the ROAD TO PERDITION books!

2. BATMAN: YEAR TWO was illustrated by the great Alan Davis, but (in keeping with the feel of YEAR ONE) it really should have been done by some noir artist like Michael Lark.

And also--

There have been at least a couple of ANGEL AND THE APE mini-series or specials--why in the world they didn't snag Art Adams is forever a mystery!  (At least he did the covers for one of them!)

My personal outrage aside (Sale is a master and his work there is memorable), it got me thinking on the concept of re-drawing art in general.

For me and I'm guessing most old school comic book fans it's heresy, but I admit to entertaining the idea for some memorable books or runs that have mediocre art (won't name them yet).

I'm leaning no, but I admit I had some thoughts...
