As Jeff says, you can definitely see the Art Adams influence, which is probably the difference between having the time to do a pin-up vs. the grind of a monthly book. <br /><br />@Cerebro: <i> I'd say it was, definitely, drawn before his tenure, at a point when he assumed that both characters would, still, be part of the main cast.</i><br /><br />Makes sense (I didn't pay attention to the '89 signature). That definitely fits with his other early sketches that included them as well. <br /><br />@Frenchie: <i>It would piss me off to no end, were I the writer</i><br /><br />Yeah, I bet that's a special kind of gear-grinding for comic book writers.Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-81087203171731563482015-07-04T02:00:58.620-05:002015-07-04T02:00:58.620-05:00Spoilers on covers is probably my all-time biggest...Spoilers on covers is probably my all-time biggest pet peeve re:comics.

Liefeld's first issue (#86) was cover dated February 1990, so it would have been on sale in December. I'd say it was, definitely, drawn before his tenure, at a point when he assumed that both characters would, still, be part of the main cast.Cerebronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-46380719769807808762015-07-03T05:21:04.112-05:002015-07-03T05:21:04.112-05:00Ditto!

As much as I enjoy Liefeld's X-Factor, when I look at that pinup I shed a tear for what might have been.<br /><br />Also, I have a huge crush on Skids.

That's some of the best Liefeld art I've ever seen. It's not a million miles away from Art Adams.
