Next: René Goscinny (creator of Astérix) and John Buscema. Goscinny worked at the Charles William Harvey Studio with John Severin. John worked with Marie Severin on Kull Marie worked with John Buscema on a story in Epic Illustrated #9 (I wouldn't be surprised if John inked John on something, but I'm not a Marvel guy) |

I didn't know Frank Miller was involved in Batman/Spawn. I had a copy too I think, never read it. Frank miller also wrote spawn #11. And I think the Dave sim issue was actually #10, so not many degrees of separation! This was part of McFarlane's effort to improve his scripting skills by working with other writers. Gaiman's collaboration is the most well known due to the creation of Angela. I did own the Cerebus issue of Spawn. I had a handful of issues of Cerebus and loved the art inside as a kid, but I didn't have enough consecutive issues to have any idea what was going on in the story. I was surprised, because I thought Cerebus would be an adventure/fantasy comic but it seemed to be a domestic slice of life comic. Anyway, thanks to the Dave Sim art I was likely to buy anything with Cerebus on it that I saw. |

John worked with Marie Severin on Kull Marie worked with John Buscema on a story in Epic Illustrated #9 (I wouldn't be surprised if John inked John on something, but I'm not a Marvel guy) The one I'm most familiar with are two pages of Buscema pencils inked by Severin in Conan the barbarian #25. That was a pretty cool thing, as those two pages were a flashback featuring Kull! |

Dave Sim did Spawn 8 with Todd McFarlane. Spawn #8 was actually written by Alan Moore. Sim wrote Spawn #10. Todd McFarlane did Batman/Spawn with Frank Miller. I didn't know Frank Miller was involved in Batman/Spawn. I had a copy too I think, never read it. To be clear Miller wrote Spawn/Batman not to be confused with Batman/Spawn War Devil. |

I believe you owe us a next challenge, Sir OK--This one takes a slight detour out of comics: Carmine Infantino to S. Clay Wilson |

OK, I'm gonna try even though I foolishly avoided the Harvey Kurtzman hint! S.Clay Wilson collaborates with Robert Crumb on Zap comix (not sure they ever worked on the same story together though  R.Crumb provides art for some Harvey Pekar stories on American Splendor Alan Moore provided art for a one-page Pekar story in American Splendor ("Bob Wachsman Tummler") - Moore also wrote an intro to one of Pekar's posthumously published graphic novels and was involved in fundraising for a Pekar memorial statue Alan Moore and Cary Bates collaborated on "Whatever Happened to the man of tomorrow" Cary Bates provided finished pencils for layouts by Carmine Infantino for a DC Treasury Edition (a Superman origin story)! If its not obvious I did use a fair amount of googling here. To give myself a tiny bit of credit, I kind of figured Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow might lead to underground comics via Moore and Carmine Infantino via Bates. Someone else might be able to connect with fewer degrees, so maybe wait a bit for the next challenge? If nobody does better I'll take my cue from some recent posts I've read here to suggest connecting Berni Wrightson (whose art I love) to Paul Pope (whose art I don't love). |

OK, I'm gonna try even though I foolishly avoided the Harvey Kurtzman hint! Looks like you got there, but here's what I used. Infantino was inked on a million things by Murphy Anderson Anderson drew Wonder Woman for the cover of Ms Magazine, edited by Gloria Steinham Gloria Steinham was assistant editor of Help! Magazine Crumb was a contributor to Help! Wilson and Crumb appeared in and collaborated in Zap and other books. (Technically, you don't even have to mention Kurtzman) |

Max Allen Collins worked with Denys Cowan on Batman 403.
Denys Cowan worked with Denny O'Neil on the Question.
Denny O'Neil worked with Neal Adams on Green Lantern/Green Arrow, Batman, etc.
Neal Adams worked with Roy Thomas on X-Men, Avengers, etc.
For once I didn't need google!! I figured Max Allen Collins' brief Batman work would be the key.
How about Denny O'Neil to Kevin O'Neill, unless someone can come up with a quicker connection from Collins to Thomas (fairly likely, I suspect)

You have writer Cary Bates confused with artist Curt Swan. It's Swan who penciled WHTTMOT? and the Superman origin you cited. Otherwise, your connections are spot on. Cei-U! I summon the case of mistaken identity! |

Cowan pencilled that issue's cover, and Bill Sienkiewicz inked it. (Technically we could say that O'Neil and Sienkiewicz collaborated on Question Annual #1, but hey... credit where credit is due!) Sienkiewicz drew Big Numbers, written by Alan Moore. Moore wrote League of extraordinary gentlemen, which Kevin O'Neil drew. |
