Here's an interview I found of Joe Barney:

I knew Joe Barney's art from a few scattered Marvel stories in the early 1980's, particularly MARVEL FANFARE 7 and a MARVEL SUPER SPECIAL 37 movie adaptation of 2010:Odyssey Two


It gives some personal perspective of what it was like to work for Neal Adams at Continuity, and who the artists were there in the "Crusty Bunkers" period (1973-1975), and in his era of the later 1970's in several artist-jam ink jobs for Marvel under the story inker credit "Diverse Hands", that I always thought was just a bunch of guys in the Marvel office, and it turns out that was inking contracted out to Continuity Associates.
I like Joe Barney's work, the little I saw of it. He wasn't in comics for very long, but what I saw of his I liked a lot. Particularly the MARVEL FANFARE story left me wanting to see more from him.

And it's insightful how Neal Adams became influential with Continuity, getting new guys like Barney ghost work, and then actual contract work, at Marvel, DC, and Charlton. Barney moved on, but others like Bob McLeod, Al Weiss, Howard Chaykin, Bob Wiacek, Bill Sienkiewicz and Tom Grindberg went on to have long careers in comics from that start working under Adams.
