Synonyms: apex, summit. So . . . . you are the CEO of your own comic company called *Zenith. You love* comic books. You are richer than Bill Gates. You also have a "real time machine" and can summon comic greats who are no longer with us to do their stuff at Zenith. Every creator is in perfect health and at the top of their game. All deadlines are met (no lie!). Every creator is paid handsomely. Plus the working environment is so much fun, and so totally harmonious, that everyone gets along perfectly (like Adam Warlock's Soul World). This a utopian comic book lover's dream!

I would love to see what the the old DC horror artists (Adams, Wrightson, Wood, Cardy, Tuska, Kaluta, etc...) would do with a modern crazy story written by someone like Garth Ennis. I also like your idea of Larsen doing NBE. Remember kids, Lee wants you to... RESPECT THE

Joe Sinnott would ink FF. Grant Morrison would write dialogue for both. Artie Simek would be the letterer. Proofreading duties would be divided between Irving Forbush and Stan Lee.
