John and yourself have been so kind to me over the years I'm happy when you post something for your collection. I am a little jealous of this one, its fantastic! 

I read the whole story off the comic rack and when I went to Max Seeley's (of comic book mail order fame) home office. He had X-Men 137 weeks before the newsstand, I grudgingly paid double cover so I wouldn't have to wait.

These two pages are great! Nice to see them, thanks for posting.

Great page origins are always great. The sketch on the back looks like he was working out the side character from Fantastic Four 264. It was published earlier but maybe this sat around until he used it.

Hi Gary,

This is amazing! I know you just posted this, if the sale falls through I would be very interested. 

Thanks.

This is probably the masters edition, I think they used to print them off to order then Frank would sign them. I doubt there is 300 of them probably not even a hundred. 

They did his most famous images in a masters edition and there was some that his son would touch up with paint etc.. to give the image some more texture though those were more expensive. I'm sure some other members would have some more knowledge.

One of my favourite FF stories. Amazing.

Owner:

Thanks Steve I appreciate it. One of the first pieces of comic art I ever got of my favourite character. I'm happy I still have it.

Owner:

No I think I got it on eBay in the early days. Byrne didn't do many cons and he wasn't doing commissions then. I loved that cover, Liefeld always had Bryne art.

Owner:

This sketch is as nice as it looks. I only sold it because Wayne loves Daredevil and Byrne. Plus he let me hold and examine his Byrne/Austin X-Men 133 cover, along with many other treasures.

Special page, never seen this one.

This is a great prelim.

Owner:

Great page from a great book! Hang onto this one.

Owner:

Thanks for the insight I appreciate it. I'll look around at their work.

Owner:

I love those issues as well. The original cover to this issue sold recently. There is also an unpublished version inked by someone unknown from what I remember.

This is great art, I like your version better.

Hi Steve,

Thank you for the comment, I appreciate it. You may have mixed this up with another piece. I got this commission directly from Herb and it's personalized to me. I'll update the details so people know. He was an awesome guy one of my favourite creators that I met in person. 

Owner:

That is amazing, congratulations.

This is like a different cover version of ASM 328. Just put the logo in place of the top panel.
