No. I didn't.

So you saw the sketchbooks before they burned?

Allen Montgomery didn't see jack shit--he's taking a wild guess and he's completely wrong.

He's got nothing.

His list is laughable and pathetic--he sees stuff that's not there and he's just flailing blindly.

Sorry, Allen Montgomery-- you're wrong. Didn't trace or copy from Byrne ever--was never influenced by Staton to any degree and all that. You're imagining things.

Nice back peddling on that whole tracing accusation.

Pathetic.

Maybe you should post yours first. Y'know as a sign of good faith. That way we can see who you trace.

So you're backpedaling from the statement that I "claimed that [your] work as it exists now is all traced from John Byrne drawings?" All the evidence you would need should be right here in the thread.

It's getting real nasty now, folks. Erik has criticised Allen's grammar, though some experts question whether it's valid. How will Allen respond? Stay tuned!

I traced Byrne, Neal Adams, Al Williamson and Paul Smith. When I was 12-15 years old. At that point, something Byrne had said in an interview — don't copy me or other comics artists — finally sunk in. Had it not, I could've had an amazing career drawing a comic selling borderline cancellation numbers. Ah, well.

But who would have cleaned the slop buckets at the porno hut in your absence? See, it was all for the best.

Yeah-- you're right--I misread what you'd said--it's still a complete lie but it's a different lie than what I said. I apologize.

But you're still a lying sack of shit.
