      You got all but two, excellent job! On one you got the inker but not the penciler; on the other I am pretty sure the inker threw you off the identity of the penciler.

    That's better than I though and of course I meant John Byrne not Jim :) (if correct) I look forward to seeing the full correct list - On looking again I one of the ones I got wrong was the SHAZAM page (as it was signed I took the easy way out) and its Rubenstein on inks over Alan Weiss pencils?

    I knew you meant John, McScotty, ;D, but it's not Byrne pencils on that one--that's the one the inks are fooling you on. But now that's the ONLY one you're missing 'cause you figured out that Alan Weiss is, indeed, the penciler of the SHAZAM! page, while Rubenstein is, yep, the inker. You've worked to hard for me to reveal the penciler of that X-Men page--I have the feeling you're gonna get it. Hint: it's not from an ish of the regular X-Men mag...

    Ok just a guess but the second panel looks a wee bit like early George Perez ? Can't think of anyone else as it looks to me like Byrne so perhaps he or Terry Austin on inks ?
