Sounds like at that point (having quit Marvel) he didn't care as much (from wiki): Moving over to a staff position at Marvel, Cockrum and Len Wein under the direction of editor Roy Thomas created the new X-Men, co-creating such characters as Storm, Nightcrawler, and Colossus. Storm and Nightcrawler were directly based on characters which Cockrum had intended to introduce into the Legion of Super-Heroes storyline had he remained on the title.[13] These characters made their debut in Giant-Size X-Men #1 ([July] 1975),[14] and then in a relaunched Uncanny X-Men(beginning with issue #94). Journalist Tom Spurgeon wrote, Cockrum stayed with the title until 1977 (as main penciller on issues #94–105 and 107), when he was succeeded by penciller John Byrne with issue #108.[15] (Issue #110, which Cockrum co-pencilled with Tony DeZuniga, was an inventory issue.[16]) The final issue of his run introduced the Starjammers, a spacefaring superhero team he had originally intended to debut in their own series.[8] He and Paty Cockrum were married on April 28, 1978.[17] Cockrum quit his staff job at Marvel in 1979 and his angry resignation letter was printed in Iron Man #127 (October 1979)[18] but he continued to work for Marvel as a freelancer. Cockrum was Marvel's primary cover artist during this period,[13] and also penciled and/or inked a number of other titles for DC during this time. Although not a regular artist on the series, he re-designed the costume for Ms. Marvel.[19] When John Byrne left the X-Men in 1981, Cockrum returned to the title with issue #145 but left again with issue #164 (Dec. 1982) to work on The Futurians.[2]

If you are going to write a book about barbarians . . . they better behave like barbarians. Or what's the point???

There.

Indeed it does!

Or you could just do it for him: https://www.comics.org/penciller/name/Dan Mendoza/sort/chrono/?pencils=Dan+Mendoza&target=sequence&method=icontains&logic=True&page=1 That's a list of all pencils. not just covers (which in his case is nearly identical.)

Hard to keep up with you youngsters!

Why oh why am I just hearing about this now? Just pulled my minty-mint copy from the garage boxes.

I love surprises!

First G-rated appearance.

Sell.

Just because it's a bar code doesn't make it collectible.

Which makes complete sense for a retailer to do. You want a sticker? I got your stickas right heeeeere.

I have to say . . . I'd buy that cover all day on Sunday.

And btw, what's the ancient guy on your left doing buying comics . . . he looks like he can barely afford Fancy Feast Salmon for dinner!

So that's you in the center with the stylin' shorts, long gray beard and the hairy tattooed arms and back???

Love the quote from Roy!

Well, Starlin only did what, 2 or 3 issues of Iron Man, and BWS had just done an ish. Marvel was trying to kickstart a title that was in the doldrums at about that time. Whereas Kirby had just started in the JO title, and even I (a Mighty Marvelite at the core) picked up copies of the JO title to see what Jack had in store for us. I was only buying IM at the time from a completionist perspective. (FWIW)

This should be a new CGC set . . . I love the tweeners.

To myself, I guessed it was an SA Spidey but I couldn't just place it -Thanks!

Any intelligent guess as to what book this is?

Point taken my friend, and I shall be mindful of this in the future. Tread more carefully with the newcomers, I will. Indeed . . . like I always do.

A sticker is a sticker is a sticker . . . No more, no less.

Actually, no. Go to page 1, fine sir!

Not one of your better posts . . .

Need head-spinning emoji here, but I guess this will have to do
