Who was responsible for what during the Claremont/Byrne run?
You stated in Wizard that 85% of the stuff on the last year of your run on UNCANNY X-MEN was yours and it was inferred that the rest was Chris Claremont’s. I was wondering, what was your stuff? JB: Well, let’s see — “Days of Future Past” was mine. (Chris’s contribution was the title and Senator Kelly — who I named, after a young lady I was pursuing at the time.) Using the Hellfire Club was Chris’s idea — where, when and how was mine. Using MasterMind was mine, along with naming him “Jason Wyngarde”. That latter was a play on a British TV show that had run in Canada a while before — “Jason King” starring Peter Wyngarde. Lots more bits and pieces. Roger Stern, editor and unindicted co-conspirator would probably remember more. He’s good at that. (Of course, I always like to point out that after I left the book, sales on X-MEN mounted from about 100,000 per month to over 400,000 — and that was BEFORE the Speculator Madness. So I guess I was holding Chris back…
