[color=blue]>  From:	ucla-cs!rick           19-Sep-1984 15:15:33  [/color]

[color=blue]>  I used (read: > 5 years ago) collect comics, primarlily for the art work.[/color]
[color=blue]>  I haven't kept up much on what has happened the last few years. Does anyone[/color]
[color=blue]>  know what the following artists are doing now:[/color]
[color=blue]>     1) Neal Adams[/color]
[color=blue]>     2) Barry Smith[/color]
[color=blue]>     3) John Buscema[/color]

(1) Neal Adams has mostly been doing commercial art for the last 10 years or so,
as well as running Continuity Studios. He's pretty much kept his hand in the
comics, though, with the occasional cover here and there. In the last couple of
years, he's written and drawn two *dreadfully* written, though elegantly drawn,
comics for Pacific Comics: MS. MYSTIC (2 issues) and SKATEMAN (1 issue -- Praise
the Lord!). Currently, he produces and edits Continuity Comics, of which the
first title, an anthology comic called ECHOES OF FUTUREPAST, has had two issues.
He has a Frankenstein/Dracula/Wolfman strip in ECHOES, but it's pretty much just
a touch-up of material he did for a European publisher years ago.

(2) Barry Smith (now known as Barry Windsor-Smith) quit comics after he gave up
CONAN, and put most of his energy into doing limited-edition prints for his own
Gorblimey Press. He's recently returned to comics, and has done some work for
Pacific's PATHWAYS TO FANTASY and Marvel's EPIC ILLUSTRATED, MARVEL FANFARE,
MACHINE MAN mini-series, and THE X-MEN. He also did a Cerebus the Aardvark story
(and the cover) for SWORDS OF CEREBUS #5.

(3) John Buscema has pretty much done nothing but Conan for the last 10 years,
though he has done the occasional this and that.

[color=blue]>  the old timers i;d like to hear about are people like jim steranko, of capt.[/color]
[color=blue]>  america/shield fame... he's the same vintage as these guys, but he dropped[/color]
[color=blue]>  out in the early 70's and hasn't been heard from since except for one graphic[/color]
[color=blue]>  novel in the mid-70's....[/color]
[color=blue]>  the true old-timers are the dead artists for the most part..... wally wood,[/color]
[color=blue]>  lou fine, etc....[/color]

Steranko is busy publishing MEDIASCENE PREVUE, formerly MEDIASCENE, formerly
COMIXSCENE. It's a pretty low-grade film/comics/books magazine. Why he bothers,
I'll never know. He also does the occasional cover, and wrote and drew one of
the stories in SUPERMAN #400.

And there are still some of the *real* old-timers alive and kicking! Will Eisner
is still doing work for Kitchen Sink's WILL EISNER QUARTERLY and Milt Caniff is
still plugging away at "Steve Canyon" (though I hear that he'll be retiring
soon. Joe Kubert is also practically from that vintage, and he's still doing
comics.

Quite possibly Claremont & Co. feel the same way.  Note that the healer
is now on the disabled list, out of action for some months at least.

[color=blue]>  Maybe the others are home on vacation. Not all the X-Men or New Mutants are[/color]

I thought it was moderately clear that Thunderbird's revenge attempt was
a private operation, unsanctioned by the Hellions or the White Queen.
The real question is, how did Roulette and Empath become involved?

In answer to Boyijian's and Spencer's answers to someone else
concerning X-Men #193, let me point out that:

Rogue's hair is all messed up because she had just gotten out of
the shower (look in the scene where they've all been brought
together to view Thunderbird's threat), and didn't have time to
fix it.  I thought this was rather amusing; in emergencies
there's not always time to make yourself look nice (unless you're
the Wasp).

The Firestar limited series will go into far more detail about
Angelica Jones, Empath, and the rest of the Hellions; so many of
your questins will be answered there.

In general, a careful reading of the comic answers most of your
questions, although it also raises some others.  What is
Wolverine doing with a war club in that first scene where they
come together?  After the horrible, horrible 191-192, 193 was a
great relief, although it is a still a far cry from the X-Men's
glory days.  Maybe Byrne will come back after he does the X-
Men/Alpha Flight teamup with Claremont.  (I know, but I can
dream, can't I?)

Issue 27 of New Mutants was actually worth looking at it, Bill
S-word's art fitted the subject very well.  But alas, in 28 we
are back into reality, and once again must identify characters
solely by dialogue, as Bill draws them the way he feels them, not
the way they look. :-(

Need I remind you,
