MY BYRNE GRAIL! Also, My Grail of Grails! This is the original artwork to the promotional poster heralding John Byrne's tenure on the series. Just Burstin with Goodness. Yum!!!!
In honor of Man of Steel which ROCKS!!!!!
Image size: 12x16
Full Circle. It feels like I have come Home. John Byrne was the first
Comic Book Artist who DID IT for me. I came in on his work on the FF
and was hooked. I NEEDED EVERYTHING Byrne. This was before I got the OA
Bug. I bought everything he did: Comics, his Art Book, eventually a
taste of his foray into book fiction. In 1982, I received my first
piece of original art, a head sketch of Storm. That had been my only
Byrne piece for years (I sold it last year). In 1986, the Comic Book
World was turned on its head by the likes of the Dark Knight Returns
and Watchmen. It was in that same year that John got his long-awaited
shot at the Man of Steel. The Promo Poster came out and I was stunned!
I bugged my local comic shop to give me the poster and they eventually
did (it rests somewhere in a friend's parent’s basement).
In 2007, noticed that Tim T had the original in his collection. I
inquired but he had no interest in letting it go. Over the next couple
years, we kept in contact about it and, then, last Summer, a
possibility reared its beautiful head and things began to take shape.
And...
Today, my Dream became a Reality! Truly, My FAVORITE BYRNE PIECE!!!!
Thanks to Tim and all those who made this possible!
