Seldom seen John Byrne covers.

[aardvark88]

Here's another artist that started out in Canada like Todd McFarlane & Dave Sim. Plz post scarce John Byrne comic related covers. Will start with 1979 Byrne new X-men & 1975-76 Charlton washtone covers. The Doomsday +1 #5 is for the enjoyment of those collectors with a black spine fetish.

[aardvark88]

From Comics Feature 4 (1980). Poor Jean Grey in Marvel Girl costume (not Phoenix or Dark Phoenix) about to undergo a psychic lobotomy.

Do you think that Doomday +1 is undervalued...seeing as that it is his first mainstream comics work???.....

[FlyingDonut]

not really, since everybody knows about it. There was a pop on it in the early 80s, but it settled down. Nightmare 20 is undervalued (his first story), because it is so amazingly hard to find.

I loved Doomsday +1 when I 1st read it. Post apocalyptic like Planet of Apes & Kamandi. Easy to collect as only 6 issues + 6 reprints. Enjoyed E-man back up story/art on Rog 2000 even more. Choice humor w/ Byrne drawing himself into the storyline.

Honestly...I never read them. ..I basically bought them at the time as for collecting purposes while I purchased the E-man books which I did read, mostly because I was in my Joe Staton lovin' stage...

 

Suffice it to say...now I have a complete set of Doomsday +1 in fantastic condition...

[aardvark88]

I've never seen a Nightmare 20 mag. Anybody have a pic of the non-Byrne cover? Help.

Here you go - an old auction.

I want it if it is in high grade. Just think about Dan! Who has the nice DCs to trade with you?

[Bronty]

Can't remember the grade offhand. I think it was in the vf/vf+ range. Those Skywalds are a biotch in true NM or above. Could be wrong in either direction, though, I will have to look at it again.

Jeez, that second cover looks more like Art Adams to me...Am I the only one?

[aardvark88]

Art Adams design sense is not as imaginative as Byrne's in 1975. The 2nd (green) cover above shows the heroes in dire straights as reflected in the pupil of an evil sea villian.
