COMIC BOOK ARTIST UNSUNG 2


Byrne's X-Men 141 one of the most famous covers in the history of comic books

It flows easily and is comic book enough to work on pretty much any material. His work developed into writing and his run on the flagship comic for Marvel-The Fantastic Four is extraordinary.
His tenure on Superman was also very interesting. Disliked by many I find his artwork easy to scan and its simplicity hides a great compositional sense. This is exemplified in his cover work.
