CREATOR PROFILE: John Byrne
Banes at 12:00AM, Sept. 15, 2022
JOHN BYRNE
When I first became seriously interested in comics, John Byrne was at the top of my favorite artist list. He drew many of the classic “new” X-Men books, and was the artist on that series when it first became massively popular. The stories Byrne drew (and co-plotted along ...
