Do it! Like it! Frenf it!
I really do like the gimmick of Byrne’s first few West Coast Avengers issues starting with a splash of a character’s head staring at the reader. (He shifts it up immediately after the issues above, so that it’s characters – or, in one case, a moon, because… sure? – talking to the camera but not necessarily just their head. But still, I wish he’d kept with this idea for the whole thing.) (From West Coast Avengers #42-46, 1988, ‘89) – Graeme
Unpublished cover for X-Factor #2 by John Byrne. 1985.
Published cover by Mike Zeck & Joe Rubinstein.
When asked why his cover was not used, John wrote:
Shooter was pissing all over X-FACTOR in those early days. Nothing was good enough to match his “vision”. Not using my cover probably amounted to not a whole lot more than “Because I can.”
Marc Spector: Moon Knight #28, 1991, by J.M. DeMatteis, Ron Garney and Tom Palmer, anticipates the rhythms (and, in a way, the relative visual minimalism) of the Warren Ellis/Declan Shalvey Moon Knight run of more than 20 years later.
