Cameos and Homages
In The Incredible Hulk #291 (January 1984), Nocenti made a cameo appearance, talking to Dr. Bruce Banner, in a story written by Bill Mantlo, penciled by Sal Buscema, and inked by Carlos Garzón and Joe Sinnott. At that time Nocenti was assistant editor to Larry Hama on The Incredible Hulk and X-Men.
In Ultimate X-Men, a re-imagination of the X-Men in the alternate universe Ultimate Marvel imprint, the superhero Longshot has the civilian name Arthur Centino — his last name an anagram of "Nocenti" and his first name an homage to artist Arthur Adams, the original character's co-creators.
