Does anyone know the true story of why Byrne left SUPERMAN? His runs never seem to end "properly". Except, I guess, his X-Men run. But, he quit West Coast Avengers almost immediately (still don't know why) and for rebooting the most important comic book character ever, he only stayed...what...two years?



but in that two year period, he wrote and drew two monthly Superman books, then took over writing duties on the third book as well. he did a shitload of Superman stories in that two year period.


That is true. I always forget about Adventures, and consider that (primarily) Ordway's book. I remember there was a real kinetic disconnect between Adventure and Action. Not always, but right at first. I kind of liked it, to be honest.

BTW, Amazon has the John Byrne Fantastic Four Omnibus on sale for $75 right now.... http://www.amazon.com/Fantastic-Four-Joh...id=9P11DMVE4QA6
