John Byrne’s Vintage Wolverine Art

There was a time when John Byrne was THE man in comics.  He could write and draw.  Often John Byrne art graced multiple comic covers AND interiors each month.  John Byrne is known for his work on Iron Fist, The X-Men. The Fantastic Four, The She-Hulk, Batman, Superman and more.  Byrne created Alpha Flight, The Next Men and Danger Unlimited.

I followed John Byrne from the X-Men to each new series he picked up.  His unique style was well suited to comics and he made characters look good.  Byrne’s Wolverine is one of my favorites.  When John Byrne started on the X-Men, Wolverine was unlike other Marvel/DC characters.  His origin was a mystery and he wasn’t built like other heroes.  Wolverine was short and stocky.  He liked to smoke cigars, drink and scrap.  Byrne’s Wolverine reminds me of a great period of comic collecting.  I miss those days.
