How can Murphy Anderson rest in peace if we bring up marvel in his thread? I don't think he even degraded himself by working there.

I don't know if that was a rip-off or an amazing coincidence. The first issue of X Men I saw might have been the first one scripted by Roy Thomas and the first several pages were such a bore I never...

Will, I love the work of both men... But Murphy penciled Supes in DC COMICS PRESENTS, and it's not his best work.
