John Byrne Biography

John Byrne is one of the most popular and richest Cartoonist who was born on July 6, 1950 in West Bromwich, England, United Kingdom. Known best for his work for DC Comics and Marvel Comics, this cartoonist contributed to the 1980s Superman comics and to both the Fantastic Four and X-Men series. He also created several original comic book series, including Danger Unlimited and Next Men.

He collaborated with fellow comic book artist Mike Mignola on the first few editions of Hellboy.

His first encounter with Marvel Comics was in 1962 with Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s Fantastic Four #5. He later commented that “the book had an ‘edge’ like nothing DC was putting out at the time”. Jack Kirby’s work in particular had a strong influence on Byrne and he has worked with many of the characters Kirby created or co-created. Besides Kirby, Byrne was influenced by the naturalistic style of Neal Adams.

In the late 1970s, while serving as the regular penciller of X-Men, Byrne began penciling another superhero team title, The Avengers. Working for the most part with writer David Michelinie, he drew issues #164–166 and 181–191. Byrne and Michelinie co-created Scott Lang in Avengers #181 (March 1979). Byrne’s nine-issue run of Captain America, issues #247–255 (July 1980 – March 1981), with writer Roger Stern, included issue #250, in which the character mulled running for the office of President of the United States.

He was born in West Bromwich, England, to Nelsie and Frank Byrne. When he was eight years old, he relocated to Canada with his family.

In early 1980, Byrne did his first work for DC Comics, penciling the first issue of The Untold Legend of the Batman miniseries. Byrne had always wanted to draw Batman, and had a three-month window of time during which he was not under contract to Marvel. Hearing about the Untold Legend series, Byrne contacted editor Paul Levitz to express interest. DC took him up on his offer, but it was not until the second month of his three-month window that Byrne received the plot for the first issue. Byrne told Levitz that he would not be able to finish the project due to time constraints despite DC then allegedly offering Byrne double his Marvel pay rate, after initially saying they could not match his Marvel rate. Byrne penciled the first issue, which was inked by Jim Aparo after being intended for Terry Austin. This experience soured Byrne on DC for quite some time.
