John Byrne
John Byrne is a writer and artist most closely associated with late Bronze Age and early Copper Age superhero comics, especially his work on Uncanny X-Men, Fantastic Four, Alpha Flight, and The Man of Steel. His name is closely tied to key first appearances, defining team and character runs, and creator-driven books that serve as reference points for collectors tracking Bronze-to-Copper shifts in both storytelling and visual style.
