John Byrne
Near the end of his time at Marvel he was hired by DC Comics to
revamp its flagship character Superman. This was part of a
company-wide restructuring of the history of the DC Universe and
all of its characters following the miniseries Crisis on Infinite
Earths. Byrne’s reworking of Superman in particular gained
widespread media coverage outside the comic book industry,
including articles in Time and The New York Times.
