Though the series proved initially very popular, with its first issue selling 500,000 copies,Source:
"The monthly 'Uncanny X-Men' book ... would sell between 400,000 and 500,000 copies per issue, each and every month, like clockwork,"@ FlairTale, can't find a mention of the "first" issue and the number of copies appears to be slightly lower than that. Aintabli ( talk) 14:05, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
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).Could not find anything relevant to the second sentence. Verified the last sentence, except for the issue number. @ FlairTale, please add sources or cite already-existing sources for the unsourced parts.
Byrne has cited multiple reasons for leaving the series, including "internal office politics" and that "it simply started to get old".Verified. Aintabli ( talk) 23:52, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
Byrne later made a story in Action Comics #592–593 where Big Barda (who is based on Kirby's wife Roz) is brainwashed and forced to almost make a pornography with Superman.Verified. Aintabli ( talk) 00:20, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
He was married to photographer and actress Andrea Braun Byrne for 15 years until divorcing. Braun's son from a previous marriage is fellow professional comic book artist Kieron Dwyer,[115] and Byrne became Dwyer's stepfather when the boy was 13 until Byrne divorced his mother.Could not find any mention of the duration of the marriage in the source. The reference [115] could be moved towards the end of the second sentence, because it mentions that Dwyer was 13 when Byrne married his brother, but the following reference also has it.
Byrne encouraged Dwyer's aspirations to be a cartoonist and assisted in landing Dwyer's first professional job drawing Batman #413 (Nov. 1987).Verified except for the issue number and month. Aintabli ( talk) 15:48, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
One of Alpha Flight's characters, Northstar, eventually became Marvel's first openly gay superhero. Though Byrne from the beginning intended the character to be gay, Northstar's homosexuality was only hinted at during Byrne's tenure on the series.Verified.
In 2015, Byrne was inducted into the Will Eisner Hall of Fame, alongside judges' choices Marge (Marjorie Henderson Buell) and Bill Woggon and elected inductees Chris Claremont, Denis Kitchen, and Frank Miller.Verified.
For publisher IDW, Byrne worked on the superhero series FX #1–6, written by Wayne Osborne, starting with the March 2008 issue. His other projects for the publisher include stories for the Star Trek and Angel franchises.Verified. Aintabli ( talk) 03:48, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
He would later become the final person to draw Funky Winkerbean, taking over illustration duties from artist Chuck Ayers for the strip's concluding week, ending on December 31, 2022.This is unsourced.
He created the superhero parody Gay Guy for the college newspaper, which poked fun at the campus stereotype of homosexuality among art students. Gay Guy is notable for featuring a prototype of the Alpha Flight character Snowbird. While there, he published his first comic book, ACA Comix #1, featuring "The Death's Head Knight".
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.
Byrne's take was comedic and the She-Hulk, who was aware she was in a comic book, regularly broke the fourth wall, developing a love-hate relationship with her artist/writer by criticizing his storylines, drawing style, character development, etc.
Byrne has never done drugs and only drinks alcohol very sparingly.
a feature some of these have in common is to have characters who actually age during the course of the series, which is uncommon for characters in ongoing comics.
For many issues, he was paired with Claremont, with whom he teamed for issue #11 of the black-and-white Marvel magazine Marvel Preview featuring Star-Lord. The Star-Lord story was inked by Terry Austin and lettered by Tom Orzechowski, both of whom soon afterward teamed with Claremont and Byrne on Uncanny X-Men.Aintabli ( talk) 00:47, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
