Q. Did you design the new Rachel? And why do you draw Wolverine's mask points so
short?

A. Same answer to both questions. I didn't design Rachel's costume or any of the other
X-Men in Uncanny, except Cannonball-- and that wasn't a design so much as making him
fit in with the rest of the team-- And for choice I would have preferred to use the tall, lanky,
crew-cut and protruding ears version. Storm is the only character I had any input on
because whoever was responsible for the redesigns missed the deadline. I had to start
drawing the first issue and my last Storm design was accepted as a default. When I was
given the redesign of Wolverine I thought the cropped helmet looked weird, and said so,
but was told I had to follow it. It was almost six months later before I saw any other artists
work and realised that many had ignored the new design limitations.
