Well, here's the centerfold / spread w/ Quadra Blu – surprisingly, given my past (cussing with vulgar expletives) experiences with such, it assembled far easier then I ever expected, must be the Gods and Goddesses of Muscle smiling upon the work.  😎

Anyway, as I previously said, the stats of height and size as stated by Lyman, IMHO, are way off, especially in the light of how she was normally drawn in comparison to Max.  But then, I've found the same thing happening with the Handbooks put out by Marvel or DC . . . is Jen Walters 5'-4", 5'-6" or at last count, 5'-10" when not the She-Hulk . . .  😐

I think Jen Walters was always meant to be above average height(at her time of appearence, 5'6") but as time went on, "above average" because nearly 6' (thus 5'10 Jen).

Other people have suggested maybe the She-Hulk formula is slowly "rejecting" normal Jen, as she has become trimmer, slightly more outgoing, and taller. My addition, since She-Hulk has only gotten bigger and stronger over the years, is that by the time she's fully rejected(sans the green skin and superstrength. She-Hulk has to exist for SOME purpose :P) and she's 7'0, 300lbs of gorgeous muscle, She-Hulk will be around 100+ tons. Maybe even reaching the almost-cosmic levels of power that her cousin is so close to at his angriest.

Wow!  Love that centerfold!  I hope it doesn't take until 2206 for Playboy centerfolds to look like this… Thanks, Alex!  😀

I remember meeting Lyman Daley a few times at FBBing shows in NYC and comic cons. At the comic con he used to do how to draw muscular characters and he'd bring a fitness woman or a fbb (Heather Foster) as a model.

nice, thanks for the posts.

also like the wierd story line in max rep. kinda over the top. mutagenic steroids turning bodybuilders into killing machines.
great comic stuff.

to bad that there isn't a collection of lyman's works.

Don't mean to debate the issue, but this has been discussed at length in the past over on the Comicsboard She-Hulk forum.  Given how she's normally drawn (no pun) by the artists in relationship with others, it seems that the generally accepted consensus is that she's not 5'-10" but in fact 5'-6".  The ideal of a modest sized woman with extraordinary powers (concealed) is just too strong for them to let go of, takes away from the transformation mystique.

Interestingly enough, I've more then once suggested this as an hypnotical answer to solve the seeming paradox of her stated stats – that over time the metamorphic traits of her Gamma-ized form has over time effected her "normal" stature, but it's never been stated officially as theory or appears to have been broadly accepted by the vocally dominant community of fans.

Lyman didn't abandon the strip, but tried to turn it into an independent series…including (if I remember right) having Quadra restored to her uberbuffed format…

Someone – somewhere – must have access to all the Quadra-Blu stuff. I'd love to see it all. The stips and the series.

Yeah–Dally!

I'd love to see it all. The [strips] and the series.

I found Max Rep #1 in my stash, and I have a little over two years' worth of Muscular Developments covering the strip's premiere and quite a few Q.B. appearances, up to the mag's fitness/natural bodybuilding switch.
