X-Men 109 page 17 by John Byrne and Terry Austin - First Appearance Guardian/Alpha Flight

Wow, what an absolute piece of dog shit page you got Byrned with here! Look at the awful pencilling and the horrible inking! The content quality isabout as low as you can get, too, featuring not just a single team member, but probably the shittiest and least popular one of all time! And who givesa rat's ass about Canadins, much less Canadian superheroes?!? Get rid of this crap NOW!

Not much to say.  Museum quality

Superb and memorable

Did you hear that? My jaw just hit the floor. It sounded like SNIKT!! WOWZA

CRAZY last-minute deal! Congrats to you both...everyone won!

This is next level. Congrats!

The best at which superhero comics can do and what superhero comics can do best is very nice. 

That's so amazing!!!! Two Canadian Super Beasts!

I feel bad for you.  Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.

Truly a royal pain in the butt page 😸

Incredible! Congrats

Someone wrote SNIKT on it too.  What a horrendous page.

I have a Byrne She-Hulk page I can trade you. 

An exemplary page from a seminal story. Congratulations!

Hmmmm, I believe i had some of that  El Dorado rum and didn't come home with anything THIS nice!   Congrats, a spectacular page!!

Ah, the old artwork of shame story.  I remember reading about an Italian collector waking up next to a Titian painting in 1570.  He certainly had some explaining to do to his wife. 

Big congrats my friend!

This page sucks. You got snikt. 

Beautiful! Congrats!

Great page. Better story!!

Congrats, Major Maple Leaf! What an amazing page, one of the best interiors in the entire Byrne run - A+ quality, just sublime!

I feel bad for you.

WOW!!! What an incredible page...love it!!!

I've heard of Coyote ugly, but Wolverine ugly is just plain ridiculous ;)

This should be a lesson to all that Sake and Guyanese rum do not mix. I feel for you and hate to see a OAX neighbor get burned like this, I’d give you a great Jughead story in trade to get you out of this mess.  But seriously, this is such a classic page, yeah that 3rd panel is worth the price of admission, but also love that lounging on a tree Wolverine in the top panel.  Fun Stuff!

Shameful!

Well this is iconic. Battle of the Canucks! 

This is a great piece to wake up to. You can see it is early Byrne since  Wolverine has the influence of Dave Cockrum at this point but his appearance changes over the later run by Byrne and Austin. 

Bad @$$!

This is a great page from a fantastic X-Men issue. Congrats of a big OAX weekend.

it's alright but it's no Tradd Moore...

*ahem*

HOLY MOLY. What happens in the Doubletree Orlando Hotel Lobby after dark usually stays there, except at OAX, where the victims share their trauma on CAF!

Huge congrats man, and great seeing you at OAX, until next time!

Congrats Jeff. It was worth getting Byrned. 

There were too many light night OAX shenanigans. You probably have a case against Bill and CAF - get justice!!!

The indignity!  Barely any Wolverine. Wow, what a page. What a trade too I'm sure.  Congrats!

Incredible page!

Congratulations on getting this page.  That storyline was interesting to those of us North of the Border!

You got "SNIKTED"... in a good way! 

It sounds like you've learned a valuable lesson. I hope that everytime you look at this garbage page, you remember to never mix alcohol and comic art. 

You're going to burn the page? Send it my way for safe keeping, you pyromaniac....Did you say Byrned? Thats not even English. It's what my mother used to call a 'makey-up' word.

So happy you've had enough therapy you can process your shame with us this way. Can't wait for the guy on the other side of the trade to take those kidneys off the ice and see how much rum is still coursing through them.

Wowza!! Bill Cox and team should provide you a free trip net time - great commercial for OAX!

Wwwwwwwwwwoooooooooowwwwwww!!!'  this art is the essence of everything that can want an XFAN !!!! I HATE YOU!!! 😀😀😀😆

I don't even have a remarkable tongue and cheek comment, this page is pure BADASS!!

A CORNERSTONE PIECE! CONGRATS!!!

That is absolutely stunning!

As Gene said, one of the very best pages from the whole Byrne/Austin run!!!

Wow wow wow i feel your pain man !!

Huge sorry ...this OAX thing seems to be really disappointing..thanks for sharing your sad story so we can avoid being byrned like that !!

Absolute tops, Jimmie Boy vs. Logan making X-Men history, so memorable just love it, huge congrats!!

I had another look (as you do) and realised why Wolverine is so pissed off. The secret is revealed in panel 3. Drum roll, please. Some joker has scrawled his name all over his left thigh.

Hilarious! Who says you're not a good writer? Oh, page isn't half bad either :)

Claws out!!!

What was the Guardian thinking? You can't be casually throwing around "pipsqueak" up here in the North. He keeps that up and they are gonna take away his Triangle Canadian Tire card.

I'm just glad you found a sliver of appreciation and sympathy for this monstrosity and didn't kick it out of bed when you woke up next to it.  Hopefully, over time, you will slowly grow to appreciate and accept it.  Best of luck... it won't be easy.  :😜 

Claws out, "Snikt" and a first appearance page.... I'm afraid to ask the number on this one.

I'm old school though. For me the selling point is simply that it's a fantastic A+ scene. Congrats!

Amazing page, got my vote for best OAX pick-up!

This piece of history is in Canada where it always belonged.

Congratulations my friend!

solid page of marvel comics lure. 

My GOODNESS.  Prime Alpha flight/xmen GOODNESS.  Doesn't get much better with weapon Alpha vs Wolverine 

A great action page from an excellent run! Congratulations 

Hey Jeff...sorry I'm late to the $hit$how! I saw this page at OAX, but passed on looking at it, as i didn't want to be traumatized by the price tag. I really feel for you and how heavy your burden of shame must be. Well, if you could only have one page from what is arguably the most memorable run in men in tights history, this may be the one. Huge congratulations my friend! I wish that I had stayed up by the fire to watch this deal go down...a part of OAX history, that we'll be talking about for a long time!

Incredible page !! Congrats!!

I suppose it's only fitting that this page end up with a Canadian.  Unfortunately I don't drink.  But I suppose it's never too late to start.  Now what kind of rum was that again?  I can bring by a case of it and we can talk about another trade.  Oh, and awesome write up by the way.

A remarkable and super memorable page.  Congratulations on your good fortune and judgment to acquire this!

Ugh, can't you post something that isn't complete waste of space!  But joking aside, great page by the amazing John Byrne and probably the best description I have read on this site.  Thanks for sharing.

The writeup is better than the art.  Thanks for sharing the story and warning, so now we know to not mix art and liquor (I hope you also checked that the page wasn't drenched in anything, in case there was any literal mixing).

Just a spectacular page!!!! Congrats Jeff!!!! 8 )

Rolling over to this in bed. Priceless! Love the story lol.

Jesus Murphy! What a beauty!

Monster Page!!!!

Gorgeous Byrne page!  If I were to choose a Byrne page from any X-men book, a page from #109 might be right at the top.  What more could you want content wise.

What a terrible burden to carry, such misery and pain are sure to follow you as the owner of this piece going forward. My sincerest condolences and sympathies. 

I hear time heals most wounds and hangovers, so I suppose this Captain Canuck page might grow on you if you leave it in your collection long enough. And it fits well enough with the "buy Canadian" movement in your country at the moment. C'est la vie!

Wow - what a fantastic page, congrats!

Awesome!
