Cockrum discusses his current workload at both Marvel and Deluxe Comics, including the four-issue Nightcrawler mini-series he is writing, pencilling, and inking himself (with his wife Paty coloring), a swashbuckling dimensional adventure that grew from a prior story he did with Jo Duffy. He explains how The Futurians graphic novel moved from Marvel to Deluxe Comics after David Singer made a substantially better offer that Marvel chose not to match, and describes plans for a Futurians ongoing series at Deluxe dealing with the aftermath of meteors devastating major cities. Cockrum also talks about his longtime love of the original T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents — he owns a complete set of the Tower books — and his suggestions to Singer on story directions, including using Lightning's suit as a plot element around the immortal android No-Man.

Discusses his six years as head of Marvel's coloring department, overseeing referencing and quality control for the entire color line under George Roussos' cover coloring. Explains the technical constraints of comic-book coloring — a palette of only 64 colors, the constant battle against muddy printing, and the frequent misuse of color overlays by artists who don't understand the mechanical process. Also details his previous nine-year career at Aurora model kits, where he rose from redrawing track plans to project manager overseeing entire kit development, and his collaboration with Dave Cockrum on dinosaur and movie-monster kit designs.

Englehart recounts his two-year stint at Atari developing video games (including a Garfield arcade game), which ended when Warner sold the company and his group was let go. Now returning to comics, he is planning a twelve-part Silver Surfer maxi-series for Marvel, a Blue Beetle strip for a proposed DC weekly anthology, and a T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents book with Dave Cockrum for a new company, while continuing to write Coyote for Epic. He gives an extended description of Coyote's premise — a Paiute Indian with a shape-changing trickster god's consciousness set loose in Las Vegas — and reflects on his mystical beliefs, including a possible UFO sighting and an encounter he believes was a gnome in Norway.

In a broad career retrospective, Wein recounts the creation of Wolverine (a name supplied by Roy Thomas, with a costume designed by John Romita Sr.) and the new X-Men lineup with Dave Cockrum, including the origin of Storm from two merged character concepts. He shares opinions on what subsequent writers did with his creations — disliking the move toward Wolverine killing — and discusses his fondness for The Incredible Hulk, favorite Batman stories, working with Alan Moore on Swamp Thing, and early career breaks through fanzines and Joe Orlando at DC.

Two separate interviews are presented together: the first, conducted by Brian Talley, covers Romita Jr.'s career from breaking in via Iron Man (with Dave Michelinie and Bob Layton) through his long run on Amazing Spider-Man, exploring his father's influence (John Romita Sr. discouraged him from comics), his views on social commentary and violence in comics, and his feelings about ego and self-imposed pressure. The second, a shorter piece by Steve Saffel who caught him dropping off art at the Marvel Bullpen, focuses on his new role as X-Men penciller — he discusses the challenge of following Byrne, Cockrum, and Paul Smith on what he calls a "suicide book," his working relationship with Chris Claremont, his affinity for the diverse cast, and his careful research for location-specific issues.
