All New, All Defunct

As our month of John Byrne art draws to a close, we still have several more months worth of material!  Until the next John Byrne month, we leave you with this re-interpretation of Uncanny X-Men #114's cover.  Fear not, readers, we will be back next week with much more Unpublished X-Men!

One Minute Later

This art was actually repurposed by inker Joe Rubinstein over John Byrne's pencils for another project.  It comes to us from Comicartfan's One Minute Later gallery, a series of commissions depicting what happened just after the original cover.

Essential X-Men

 From Byrnerobotics:

"This piece was done during the brief period Michael Golden was Art Director (or whatever the title was) at Marvel, and when he sent out a cover sketch it was virtually a finished drawing. One from which we were forbidden to stray too far. That's why, for instance, Storm doesn't look like my Storm. The whole drawing is more akin to me inking Michael." -- John Byrne

As the lineart above shows, the back cover was used as the front cover in later editions.
