My pleasure. It's my duty as a flag-wearing Alpha Flight fan to ensure we ALL get whatever Alpha Flight fixes we can!Originally Posted by Mokole

Ah, yes, the "all-white" issue... note there's only 5 and a half pages of white panels..., but that's all it takes for a comic to get a reputation as being completely white. I still love this issue, every single milky white blank page. Thanks for the post! White

I'm not sure I could see it properly at my screen resolution.

Trivia question, was this the first time this concept ( empty panels) had been tried ?

Driftwood: Well, I got about a foot and a half. Now, it says, uh, "The party of the second part shall be known in this contract as the party of the second part."
Fiorello: Well, I don't know about that...
Driftwood: Now what's the matter?
Fiorello: I no like-a the second party, either.
Driftwood: Well, you should've come to the first party. We didn't get home 'til around four in the morning... I was blind for three days!
Not sure, but there was an earlier version in What If...? v1. #34. Which also had an Alpha cameo! (panel? appearance? What ever #35.)

Not absolutely sure of the when, but I'm aware of an issue of Daredevil, where a lot of the panels where done from his perspective. I'mpretty sure it was before AF number 6.

Not the answer to the trivia question, but wow, bizarre timing for a new book just published yesterday. In the FCBD 2009 Avengers book from Marvel, there's a Frost Giant who shoots a blizzard at the Avengerii (plural of Avengers, I just made it up) and yeah, there are at least 2 panels of complete white. Ha! Another all-white completely blank comic book! Of course the "writer", Brian Michael Bendis, who sucks and who I totally hate, doesn't have any talent and just left the panels without any text or thought bubbles or narration.
Oh, and the What If...? issue mentioned above was #34, yes it has an Alpha Flight cameo, but here is the white panel:

Having taken note of AF fans angst at him killing the team off off panel, he decides to wipe out another team in an all white panel to avoid the grief.

At least they HAD a panel to get wiped off! Alpha didn't get even that!Having taken note of AF fans angst at him killing the team off off panel, he decides to wipe out another team in an all white panel to avoid the grief.
