Love old John Byrne X-Men comics. Used to read all the ones my older brother had.

No interest in xmen. Sinister dexter was good. Also there was a ps1 game called shadowman based on a comic. The story of thegame was amazing but the comic that would make a brilliant film

I think his work on fantastic four was even more detailed, if that's possible. Also one of my favorite superman renditions. You can see where Todd mcfarlane got a lot of his influence.

Good write up.............Byrne was awesome but I was only a fan of the original X-Men.

I loved Byrne's work when he did the OMAC 4 issue mini series back in the early 90s.

Great stuff.

I used to have that issue, along with most of the new x-men from 94 up. Stopped collecting a few years after that issue came out and sold'em all.

Every getbigger can agree on that John Byrne + Terry Austin made magic back in the day.

Byrne and Austin took comic art to another level in the 80s the same way Jack Kirby and Joe Sinnott did in the 60s.
