That’s not to say that the brothers have never worked at DC – Andy was attached to a pair of pulp projects in the late ‘80s/early ‘90s - Adam Strange (1990) and Doc Savage (with Adam) in 1987.
Of course, given their father's work volume for DC, the arguement could be made that the brothers, despite their Marvel work, are DC legacy artists.
As Newsarama readers know, Marvel and DC have escalated their battle over exclusive creators signings over the last several years, with many big names declaring their alliance to one or the other publisher and a few even moving "across the isle" to do so, offering solid public relations opportunities for both companies.
