I wish my fist was as hammed as this! All the elements that make Byrne one of the greats are there in embryonic form.
Thank you. Agreed, How messy, unruly, the page look is what made buy it. Tend to love early, embryonic forms of any given artists more than their "mature" work.
Early Byrne shows off his flair for dramatic storytelling and willingness to go with thin lines for the heroes and heavy brush strokes for the Woolly Mammoth to make it more menacing. It looks like a splash out of the Savage Land run with how he uses the space and how the figures are posed.
Loved Byrne pre X-men, and then again with his FF 232 + run, when he inked himself and tried to overrun Kirby. Which was a lost cause, but kind of sillily glorious.
Mediocre page, well not this one. Congrats.
Doomsday +1 fans unite! It's great to see some more early Bryne, and a cool splash to boot, congrats!
Have a specific fondeness for early, not yet "mature", artist's works. Many pages in my collections are represented by "slightly above teenage years" works.
