Why did John Byrne do this?
debbie does dallas, the green door, some of the first pornos had just debuted. Ermergerd porno was one of the most talked about subjects in pop culture. Thats my guess.
He always does stuff like that. Like that time he had Dark Phoenix cupping Colossus' balls just bellow the panel.
>>84346890
In a comic for children though?
>>84346866
Because Byrne is /co/
>>84346898
pic of dark phoenix cupping them steel nuts?
>>84346890
>some of the first pornos
>first
>>84346898
That was the scarlet witch cupping wonder man's ionic balls.
>>84347039
AND The dark phoenix saga. Look at the stretch marks in colossus' pants
>>84346866
Yeah, I thought he hated relationships between robots.
>>84347055
That is a stretch imo.
>>84346898
Let's be fair.
That was probably Claremont's edict.
>Byrne thread
>nobody mentions how a lot of his stories have "underage girl has crush on older man" plot
I barely know you anymore, /co/
>>84347064
>>84347064
It's not, byrne said he lifted the scarlet witch scene from the x-men one and made it more explicit. Unless you're making wordplay.
>>84347075
Why would we criticize the one thing he does right?
>>84347087
who's talking about criticising?
Oh Byrne, you cantankerous smut peddler.
>>84347086
I was making wordplay. Also, this:
Yay byrne smut!
>>84347121
noice
I raise you a rare Ribic.
>>84346866
to tell a story.
>>84346902
Children don't read comics and haven't for ages.
Also, fuck you and your yank sexafraid.
>>84347169
I see it
>>84347166
>>84347178
Lovely nipples
This reminds me of an artist I once interviewed who told me that he got into comics because of the hot superheroines and that drawing them turned him on. He drew Wolverine: first class.
Is this the "post comic artists lewd material" thread?
Being a John Byrne fan is hell. I just want to be able to appreciate his work without having to talk about the man himself, but it's just not possible.
It's like a few years back when my friend finally got me to watch Chinatown with him. I was really enjoying the film and we'd just gotten to the part where Jack Nicholson gets his nose sliced open by Roman Polanski. My friend leans over and goes, "That guy with the knife's the director. Y'know, he raped a kid?"
>>84346890
This was about fifteen or more years after that.
The man cannot draw. Look at those poor shovel faced characters.
>>84347633
Jesus Christ! You said he was a pedo but fucking hell
>>84347633
MODS
>>84347633
This is a blue board you piece of shit. Now I have to magnetize my hard drive.
>>84347221
>He drew Wolverine: first class.
I read that series, I liked that series. I knew I was getting undertones.
>>84346991
To get mainstream recognition, I think he meant.
>>84346866
Byrne didn't like Kirby. He wrote this story as sort of a Fuck You to him, since Big Barda was based on his wife.
Byrne wrote some great stories but Byrne is a small petty man.
>>84346866
>Why did John Byrne do this?
Because like 99% of people in the comic industry he has mental issues only he has no problem letting them be openly seen in his work
>>84347841
It's more complex than that. Of course he likes Kirby, he just thinks he can one-up him at everything he created.
>>84347808
I guess I need
>>84347066
I honestly would have loved to see them out perving eachother
>>84347941
To illustrate
>>84347363
Nothing lewd about nudity.
>>84347949
My point
>>84347949
Nothing lewd about being fatherly.
>>84347962
Nothing lewd about a teen crush - those happen all the time. Doesn't mean fucking in front of cameras and snorting drugs.
Man you yanks are repressed and see sex everywhere.
>>84347949
Jaysis I honestly thought he was sitting awkwardly at first glance
>>84347945
Didn't Claremont used to buy hookers dressed up as comic characters for Byrne?
>>84348112
That was friend-of-a-friend rumor nonsense from a bitter Morrison fanboy.
Because he's the evil Chris Claremont.
>>84348112
No, claremont bought them for himself. He liked to be fisted by black hookers dressed as storm
>>84347431
It helps that a fair bit of his works shits the bed.
Reminder that John Byrne was a petty asshole who had Cyclops leave his wife and child because he hated Claremont.
There was also the comic he wrote where She-Hulk was forced to strip butt naked in a room full of men and paraded around SHIELD nude, in front of her boyfriend.
>>84346866
Nigga was a stone cold freak.
>>84349058
>There was also the comic he wrote where She-Hulk was forced to strip butt naked in a room full of men and paraded around SHIELD nude, in front of her boyfriend.
Why can't I remember this one? I remember the other one, but not She-Hulk getting naked.
>>84346866
Because Byrne is a fucking nutjob.
>>84346866
Did they make a comic about Zack Snyder filming the new Justice League movie?
>>84347178
>that fucking foot
haha what
>>84346866
because he hates kirby
also he's a pedophile
Hahaha Superdad fucked Barda
>>84346890
But The Green Door and Deep Throat came out in 1972, for chrissakes - even Debbie Does Dallas came out in '78, a full decade before this comic. Hardly "just debuted".
I think the correct answer is "John Byrne is a perv".
>>84346866
To fap?
>>84347431
I try separating creator from creation, Woody Allen is a child rapist too but I still love some of his works. John Lennon beat his wife and his music is still enjoyable. It's the same with Byrne too, he's an awful human being but I still love some of his work.
>>84351557
He didn't beat Yoko Ono enough.
>>84347949
I don't understand what's happening in the right panel
>>84351557
But Byrne was shit, anon. He's shat hard on superman mythos. He's solely responsible for destroying Superman during post crisis era.
>>84347039
And to think, writers keep trying to hook them up.
>>84349166
Marvel Graphic Novel #18. The S.H.I.E.L.D. agent didn't even get into trouble, because he had connections. Then he was never seen again in any comic ever.My personal headcanon says that he was killed by Fury during the "Nick Fury vs S.H.I.E.L.D." miniseries.
>>84351803
X-Mansion got thrashed during Kitty's slumber party and Logan was supposed to be babysitting. Everyone else just got home.
So I'm a superman fan, is Byrne's work worth checking out?
>>84349058
>>84349166
That wasn't him as far as I know. That was editorial demanding Cyclops join X-factor so that the entire 05 would be back together for the book.
>>84347851
>only he has no problem letting them be openly seen in his work
Or at his forum. Where all his little sycophants and yes-men can kneel before him each day and suck him off.
>>84349058
In the issue from OPs post its heavily implied that the bad guy in the story, Sleaze(lol), raped Barda multiple times and had her perform in solo masturbation videos before trying to hook her up with Superman.
Byrne should honestly be on a watch list of some type.
>>84351458
He didn't though. Mister Miracle broke in at the last minute and stopped it.
>>84352817
>Barda's Solo Masturbation videos
That shit must cost millions
>>84352460
It was all Byrne's idea in the first place.
>>84352817
So, Sleaze was the original hentai villain?
>>84352817
Why is Byrne so fucking weird?
John Byrne is the first example of ARTISTS SHOULD NOT TRY TO BE WRITERS and the industry would have done well to never let another artist try to write.
>>84353617
Fuck you, Byrne's Superman run is one of the best, if not THE best Superman run in the history of the character. It wasn't perfect by any means but it's a classic.
Your stupid comment is also saying Frank Miller's run on Daredevil was shit too, btw.
>>84347998
>>84352460
>>84353054
No, this is how it went
Kurt Busiek, at the time an intern working on one of the fanzines, shared his idea for how to bring Jean back with Roger Stern. Stern liked it and told it to Byrne and Layton. Then the three of them brought the idea to Shooter who approved.
Before Jean was going to come back X-Factor was going to be a team with Cyclops, Beast, Angel, Ice Man, and Dazzler
>>84353702
Not the same anon, but no, it isn't. It's only liked by people for whom Byrne's Superman was their first Superman. He destroyed Superman mythos and turned it into a soap opera. His superman was one of the biggest self inserts of all time.
>>84347941
I love it when girls are like this in comics, because that's how they really are.
>>84353617
No fuck you, the best comics are made when the writer and artists are the same person. To hell with assembly line garbage
>>84354094
Tony Daniel pls go
>>84352817
Wait how fucking high was this guy's power level that he was able to order around a god
>>84354094
Everything in the 90's tends to disagree with you
>>84353979
Not him, but Byrne's era superman was the superman who had the least amount of the things that people always hate on the character for having. He had more personality, was more vulnerable, and had a strong supporting cast. Post crisis metropolis was the best that setting has ever been.
>>84354104
He was a New God as well. He had some sort of mind control powers.
>>84353702
Yeah but this is from the Jurgrns/Ordway run
>>84352247
I'm a big silver age Supes fan and I like it well enough. Currently readin through volume 5 of the Man of Steel trades. Avoid the first issue though. Byrne had an autistic need to explain everything about Superman (like why his boots are red) and it just comes off like fan fiction. It gets better with issue 2 once he's already Superman and all his origin shit is out of the way. Byrne's version of Luthor is also probably the best I've ever read outside of Morrrison.
>>84354516
Ah that explains it then
>>84354664
Oh and also if you're thinking of going through the trades be aware that they also decided to reprint Marv Wolfman's run alongside Byrne's and it's atrocious. I've started skipping his issues altogether which means I'm done with them in about a half hour.
>>84347132
So it was originally a blow job?
>>84352035
This, if anything Simon should know to steer away from crazy.
>>84355617
Yes
>>84353702
Kelly, Johns, Busiek, and Morrison were responsible for for saving Supes from the corner Byrne and Jurgens painted him into.
>>84354516
Why would a God want to make porn?
>>84358737
He was the god of porn
>>84358737
Darkseid banished him from Apocalypse and he needed the money for something.
Can anyone recollect which Superman comic I have in my mind? The art was good, and his gravestone reads like 'To Be Continued'
>>84354487
>Byrne's era superman was the superman who had the least amount of the things that people always hate on the character for having.
Yeah, but fuck those people anyway.
I think Byrne and Wolfman's reboot was very much needed and the introductions of Real Clark, more grounded Superman, businessman Luthor and a toughened up Lois were absolutely vital, but I do think it's more a solid foundation than it is a particularly great era in of itself. It's really about how others have built upon it, for better or worse. It's got some great moments though, the second issue of MoS is probably one of my favorite single issues of Superman.
Emil Hamilton and Gangbuster can fuck off forever though.
>>84359260
>Emil Hamilton and Gangbuster can fuck off forever though
That subplot about Perry White's son leading a life of crime can also get fucked. So boring.
>>84352247
Honestly? You can hardly call yourself a Superman fan if you haven't read it. It defined the character for decades after. It's on par with Batman Year One.
Give it a read, anon. I've been meaning to post it.
>>84354487
And likewise he completely changed and marvelized Superman. The writers DC chose were the wrong people to reinvent superman. He shouldve been handed to a Brit or someone like Gerber. Moore and later Morrison perfectly wrote and reinvented Superman later by not choosing to shy away from cheesy concepts and still writing a nuanced character.
