Description
After Kirby, Byrne is probably the artist I gravitated to most (especially growing up in the 1980s) and, after Kirby, probably the second artist I learned to recognize by style reading comics at an early age in the 1970s. I encountered him first at the very end of his work on Iron Fist (one of my first ever comics was IF #14) and a childhood friend who was a big Spider-Fan had been actively buying the Byrne MTU run as they were coming out, a couple of which wrapped up the Iron Fist story. So his work on IF is very nostalgic for me, and since I'll probably never own a page from IF #14, I'm thrilled to have this great rendering from one of Byrne's last great Marvel works. Even if it's not really Iron Fist. But hey, Byrne once said the Super Skrull was one of his all time favorite villains anyway!

Byrne doing it all and on duo tone board as well!  Shows the passion he had on this project to honor and bring a new audience to the Bill Everett creation!

Never underestimate the power of duotone board in graphic design.  The effect is awesome.

This is prime-time John Byrne!

Namor was one of the last great works by Byrne.  Loved the use of zip-a-tone.  And here you have the comeback of Iron Fist, one of his signature characters (well it was not really him but eventually he made it back).  Great splash!

Can't help but think Byrne when you think Iron Fist, or vice versa!  Great example here, Sam.  Congrats!
