This is among my favorite time period of John Byrne's art during the mid to late 1970's! A lot of drawings from John's personal sketchbooks were published in the Art of John Byrne Book! Even though these images were not published in that book I still love the time period of art and the attention to detail that John put into these drawings!

This one features a redesign of Starlord's costume that was not published and a drawing of the Incredible Hulk from around the same time period as The Incredible Hulk Annual #7 that was penciled by Byrne. The Starlord costume is reminiscent of NorthStar's outfit. There is also a second drawing of the Hulk on the back of the page!

Thank you, Rich Donnelly, for another transaction that I am extremely Happy with!

Classic Byrne anatomy and facial structures that was his calling card to set himself apart from everyone else!

There's a lot of history on that page...Byrne's raw pencils are stunning. CONGRATS!!!

A very interesting Star-Lord redesign and must be pre-Northstar, congrats!

Nice, Byrne obviously liked the costume design and used it for Northstar!

There's just something about 70's Byrne. It's so raw, but it's also so pure. Fun stuff.

Wonderful piece Rich - I epsecially like the image on the back and you can see the strong similarity to his later Hulk work. Congrats!
