Description

In 1999 I bought the Critical Error story from Jim Warden. A story published in the Art of John Byrne from 1979.
I noticed the interior splash was a statted page. From Jim I understood the story was stored like this at John Byrne's.

Since the interior back cover of the book was this splash colored by John Byrne I figured the original art was used for that and got separated from the rest of the story.

Over the years I kept an eye out for the piece but never seen it.

Flash forward many years to early 2016 and the piece showed up and I was more than happy to reunite it with the rest of the story!
