John Byrne returns to the X-Men

[samurainoir]

[Operation:Mego]

Those poor X-Men never saw it coming.

[THE FALCON]

I love John Bryne! I miss that foo'.

[Brazoo]

Haha!

Too bad it's not Terry Austin inking.

Come to think of it, I think I have an Austin Popeye con. sketch someplace. I should try to hunt for that!

For those who don't know - Terry Austin was a longtime inker for John Byrne, and was known for sneaking images of Popeye into the panels:

check out the shadow -


I think I see his head right by the hand of that orange creature on the left -

Even though Byrne's personality leaves a lot to be desired sometimes, I still wish he was able to get steady work at Marvel or DC. I'd take his "back to basics" approach on anything vs. a "New 52" approach any day of the week...

[Earth 2 Chris]

Can we start a campaign against Popeye? He assaulted a crippled man!!! And a man who is toe-challenged!!!

That's toooooo funny!!! I would LOVE to see Byrne back on some maintream characters again---as long as he had a good inker like Austin. His Popeye rocks!!!

Amen!!! so let be written so let it be done!

Ive always felt that Byrne draws better when its something cartoony.

[bondtoddbond]

What a let down.

[Operation:Mego]

I want him to take on Cap next: Years of Spinach VS. WWII Steroids.

Haha!

That's hilarious! I didn't even notice before.

Terry Austin's Cerebus jam with Dave sim.

[MEMEGO]

Yippy, BURNS IS BACK yippy.

[Robin NY]

they won't give him steady work at Marvel or DC anymore? Why?

[Thor]

From what I've read he has been the center of a lot of controversy and problems at both places. Wikipedia has an article on it. He may have the arrogance bug.
