Peter Allen David’s 00s X-Force book was largely excellent, and he mostly did his own thing. It was jarring when he was mandated to include the annual big X-Line crossover plot into what he was doing. He did it well enough, but it often obviously disrupted what he had going on. The book would have been better if he didn’t have to pay the crossover tax for just one example. I think he ran into similar problem when he was manning X-Factor in the 90's too. It's still frustrating that creators have to play to the whims of mandated events when they just detract from the overall story (see the recent "Knight Terrors" storyline from DC) And his Hulk. Mandatory Crossover Disease hurt Alan Grant's Shadow of the Bat also, IMO. |

Space Cabbie
He appeared in 23 issues of Mystery In Space - and was never cover featured
DC didn't bother to reveal what his real name was
DC has never published a collection of his adventures
Stiffed him on a tip

I love this splash page from GL #91 by Mike Grell. It has an almost Golden Age feel to me, yet published in 1976.  |

I feel like part of my attraction to this hobby and this forum is compiling stats. Cataloging and placing books and facts make this place fun.

I think only 9% of the posts deal with comic book statistics.   |

So much so that I wonder if it might not have been a deliberate tribute - if not to a specific page or panel, then perhaps to the general style and feel of some of the comics of that era? |
