John Byrne — Happy 70th!

John Byrne’s Next Men #1, December 2010

Wait… John Byrne is 70 today? How old does that make me? Yikes.

Continuing our celebration of “Independents” month with a bonus entry by Byrne.

John started his Next Men series at Dark Horse in 1991, ultimately stopping in 1994, during an epic industry-wide sales implosion.

In 2010, after some wrangling, John restarted the series at IDW and this beautifully detailed art was used for the announcement at SDCC, along with one of the cover variants.

Happy Birthday, John!
