Celebrating Artist John Byrne

Celebrating the birthday of artist/writer John Byrne (July 6, 1950), here with two of his more famous covers featuring Doctor Doom....from Super-Villain Team-Up #14 (October, 1977) and Fantastic Four #238 (January, 1982).

If there was one thing that John Byrne could do, it was make Doctor Doom a regal villain!

The Fantastic Four

A little difficult to sum up the Fantastic Four in any one volume, so, here, a reprint from Simon and Schuster from 1979, with a cover by Bob Larkin, and some extra interior words by Stan Lee, featuring stories from Fantastic Four #4 (cover by Jack Kirby and Sol Brodsky) with Sub-Mariner, #48-50 (covers by Jack Kirby and Joe Sinnott) with Silver Surfer and Galactus, and #86 (cover only) and #87 (covers by Jack Kirby and Joe Sinnott) featuring Doctor Doom.
