Wow! Can't believe I forgot to include the *other* defining run of FF besides Lee/Kirby! Thanks, Mike.
Of course, the Wolfman run had the virtue (in my eyes) of having George Perez do the art for some of the run. Byrne's run included the other really great Galactus story from back in that period-- the "Everybody vs Galactus" / "Okay, and now we have to save Galactus!" storyline. The cover where the FF, the Avengers, and Dr Strange are all attacking Big G at once -- awesome. It's even the art they copied directly for the ad for today's episode. --Van On Feb 19, 4:42 pm, Michael Bailey <[email protected]> wrote: > What about Byrne's run on the FF, Van?
