  1. According to the statement of ownership in Uncanny X-Men #205, average paid circulation was 450k.
  2. GCD says: -script Whilce Portacio (plot); Jim Lee (plot); Scott Lobdell (-script) Pencils Whilce Portacio (layouts); Jim Lee (layouts); Scott Clark Inks Scott Williams (pages 1-6, 8-15, 21); Joe Rubinstein (page 18); Bill Sienkiewicz (page 16) Colors Joe Rosas Letters Tom Orzechowski (credited as Task Force X); Lois Buhalis (credited as Task Force X) Indexer Notes Scott Clark pencils and inking credits from Facebook post by Scott Williams.
  3. I thought Avengers #85 was the first Squadron Supreme and Avengers #69 was the first Nighthawk.
  4. This doesn't look much like Colletta's work to me. GCD suggests Giordano might have inked it.
  5. I think it was more a case of someone pasting a Buscema head over what Bolland had drawn than Sal Buscema redoing the face. Here's the unmodified version, which I wouldn't say was one of Bolland's finest.
  6. Marvel Two-In One #51 was the zenith of Miller's Thing. Like John Carter #18, it had the benefit of Bob McLeod's inking.
  7. I thought that image was unpublished. A similar but slightly less egregious pose was used for the cover of Captain America #6.
  8. GCD previously credited the cover to Syd Shores, but following a discussion on the Timely-Atlas Facebook group they're now suggesting Mort Lawrence for the penciller, with inker unknown.
  9. I'm not sure why Roger Stern would have the page. I think in the early days of art being returned, two pages of each issue tended to be given given to the writer, but according to John Byrne, Stern disapproved of this and voluntarily gave his pages to the penciller and inker.
  10. Marvel Age Spider-Man #1-20, cover dated May 2004 to March 2005 rehashed the plots from Amazing Spider-Man #2-21 by Lee and Ditko.
  11. Tom Morgan finished that page over Herb Trimpe's breakdowns. Morgan was influenced by Palmer but not in the same league.
  12. Is it known how far in advance of its April 1977 cover date Heavy Metal #1 would have been released?
  13. GCD says of the Whitman variant of DC Comics Presents #22: "This is an exceedingly rare variant, only rumored to even exist at all until 2012 when some copies started surfacing. There are less than ten known extant copies."
  14. The character in Nick Fury #15 was called Bulls-Eye. He dies at the end of that comic, when Dum Dum Dugan shoots him in the bull's eye of the target on his chest.
  15. GCD says that according to Diamond's Scoop website 500 copies were produced but over half were destroyed. Lois Lane is said to have a comment in the story: "What terrific outfits! That gear looks super! Clark, why don't you buy some new ski clothes like those kids have?" How much was the BIN?
  16. It says page 2 not issue #2. Here's another page from it. Apparently it's King Faraday, and the inker was Marshall Rogers. link
  17. Rubinstein inked most of Daredevil #163 after a couple of Janson pages, and it looked pretty good. What If #35 included a couple of pages that reprised layouts from DD #181, now inked by Terry Austin, but I didn't think they were an improvement. I don't think Bob Wiacek's inking got good until after Miller's DD run had ended, and I didn't rate their collaboration on Marvel Team-Up #100.
  18. I see the inking on Sabre #4 was credited to Georges F and P. Most of the art, including your page, seems to be inked in the style of George Freeman, but does anyone know if George P would have been George Pratt?
  19. Shadow Annual #2 was definitely Baxter, but I think Dragonlance #1 was in the cheaper "New Format".
  20. My favourite Human Fly issue was #14, with Frank Robbins inked by Steve Leialoha instead of the usual Esposito or Springer.
