So managing editor Dick Giordano had no problem with meĭeciding, in SECRET ORIGINS, to alter the re-telling of the origin to Weiss and Don Newton and some better scripts by Nelsonīridwell. Wasn't working, although there had been some nice latter art by Alan Realized that their light-hearted revival of Captain Marvel in SHAZAM!

though only I conceived the original character, named him, wrote him, with Dann's help.Ĭo-created with Dann Thomas and Todd McFarlane Bones than Herb Trimpe is currently considered of Wolverine.although again, as I said, I'm willing to count all three of us as the co-creators of the visual aspect of Bones. By the standards used for, say, Wolverine, Todd would no more be the co-creator of Mr. Bones (however he may have now evolved into, yech, Director Bones), Todd was only the THIRD person to draw Mr. So, while I've no quarrel with Todd being considered the 'co-creator' of Mr. That drawing was later published in INFINITY, INC. Mike, as per instructions, followed my costume and look exactly, except that he gave Bones the high boot look he sported, and maybe had improved on the cape/cowl a bit. Bones-the final design of the costume-was done by Mike Machlan. Besides that: the first professional drawing of Mr. but I drew the first picture of him, costume, skull and bones design, etc., clearly influenced by the old Black Terror character visually, plus Blazing Skull and Ghost Rider at Marvel. Bones on my own (though conferring with Dann, he was my idea, where other Infinity, Inc./Helix characters were sometimes initiated by her or by both of us together).
