1979 - First ever X-Men by John Byrne


Wow. Found this very cool piece and had to share. Apparently this is Byrne's first drawing of the Uncanny X-Men. Interesting to see Byrne's early take on these characters, drawing a lot of influence from Cockrum.


Actually I found this piece which is dated 1978, but seems more mature of a drawing.

    That is really different and cool. Byrne's X-Men are my favorite. I can see the differences here.
