'NEW' SUPERMAN COVER GALLERY - PART ONE...

After a popular run on MARVEL's FANTASTIC FOUR,

superstar artist and writer JOHN BYRNE jumped ship over to

DC COMICS to help reshape their post-CRISIS SUPERMAN

incarnation.  I seem to recall reading that Byrne had hoped to work

for both companies, but felt pushed into making a choice because

of something that JIM SHOOTER, Marvel's editor-in-chief, had

said or done.  (Unfortunately, I can no longer recall the precise

details off the top of my head and am too lazy to look it up.)

So for a while at least, The Byrnester helped steer the good

ship Superman, but it wasn't to last.  While it did 'though, readers

were treated to some superb covers and interior art, which we're

about to look at in the first part of this new series on Crivens.

Why not come along for the ride?  You're sure to enjoy it!

And if you have any particular reminiscences associated

with any of these covers, be sure to leave a comment.
