Description
Byrne's "painted" covers for Charlton were amazing! I find it such a loss they didn’t continue on to Marvel, or even reemerge at some later date. I'm a big fan of the painted covers he did for Doomsday +1, Space: 1999, and even the Many Ghosts of Doctor Graves. They all looked so cool to me, and I couldn’t be happier to add the unpublished cover he did for the originally unprinted Doomsday +1 #7. Byrne's story "There Will Be Time" did see print in The Charlton Bullseye #4-5, and was later pasted back together as The Doomsday Squad #7 with new coloring.

Also, with all the reprinting on the original run of Doomsday +1, I find it crazy Charlton didn't print Byrne's completed issue #7 with this excellent cover of Jill Malden facing down a rampaging T-Rex. A friend, also without photoshop, made me a quick & dirty mock up of what he thought this cover might have looked like in July of ’75 had it made it to the stands, thanks!

Art from 1975 - 12x18.

Cool rare gem you unearthed... who know there was an unpublished Byrne Doomsday +1 cover!?! Joe, your Byrne collection is impressive... I like to click through and see all of that artistic growth from page to page.

This is very cool. I knew there was that unpublished Doomsday + 1 story by Joe Gill & John Byrne that eventually saw print in Charlton Bullseye, and then in Fantagraphics' reprint series The Doomsday Squad. But I didn't realize that Byrne had also done a cover for that issue. I agree that it's a shame it never saw print. It's a really nice example of Byrne's early artwork.
