Description

Saw this very recently in Jim Warden's gallery and had to pull the trigger - it's got SO much prime Byrne goodness! JB is just putting so much time and love and craft into his amazing Elsewhen project, an absolute gift to his fans!

So - to this unused but incredibly stunning page - what's not to love? Byrne Skrulls - oh, so many Byrne Skrulls! Great expressions and poses all the way through...some fabulous Byrne robotics & tech...a cool space ship...and the Fantastic four in chains!

Marvel - seriously - write John a blank cheque, publish this brilliant magnum opus of a story any damn way he wants it done and give him the respect he is long due! Let's have some Absolute Editions!
This blows away pretty much everything the Big Two have put out for decades. And transports me right back to the days when I was a gobsmacked teenager looking at the work of the two masters, the Dream Team of Byrne and Austin creating visual pyrotechnics which still burn bright in my mind today. And then Byrne working on the big gun characters at Marvel and breathing amazing new life into them - The Avengers, the Fantastic Four, Captain America, the Hulk - he made them all sing and his fans are forever grateful for his skills. And he's still knocking it out of the park, all these years later!

More than just masterful lines on paper, this is an 11" x 17" time machine...

Classic! I love this one a lot! I think it is all the Skrulls that does it for me. Congrats!

Before Thanos had a nutsack chin, the Skrulls in their thousands had nutsack chins...and boy, did they ever use them! These guys have been around since the earliest days of the Marvel Universe (FF#2 I believe?), scheming schemes and causing chaos wherever they go. Kirby and Adams did great takes on the Skrulls, and Byrne's is right up there with the best.

Thanks for stopping by and showing the Skrulls some love, Scott!

Absolutely, Peter! My eyes lit up when I saw this beauty on Jim Warden's CAF and I had to go for it. Byrne is clearly having tons of fun with this series and it's wonderful to see his enjoyment in every line!

Thanks, Hulk! Yep, the Skrulls sold it to me for sure! Byrne's depiction of Skrullish malice is up there with the best!
