<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"John Byrne reinvented Superman and illustrated some of the most famous stories in X-Men history. Much like how Jack Kirby created the Fourth World at DC following his genre-defining career at Marvel, after Byrne's work on multiple pop culture icons, the writer and artist took on the Fourth World himself, as collected in this hardcover omnibus. While staying faithful to Kirby's original vision, these tales brought characters like Orion, Darkseid, Mr. Miracle, and the Forever People into the 1990s, reviving the epic mythology of New Genesis and Apokolips for a new generation of readers"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Following his legendary work on <i>Superman</i>, <i>X-Men</i>, and <i>Fantastic Fou</i>r, John Byrne takes on Jack Kirby's groundbreaking creations in this oversized hardcover collection!</b> <p/>John Byrne reinvented Superman and illustrated some of the most famous stories in X-Men history.

Following his tenure at Charlton, Byrne moved to Marvel, where his acclaimed runs on <i>The Uncanny X-Men</i> and <i>Fantastic Four </i>soon made him one of the most popular artists in the industry. In 1986, he came to DC to revamp Superman from the ground up, and since then he has gone on to draw and/or write every major character at both DC and Marvel.
