I just ran across this COMIC BOOK ARTIST inteview of Byrne, from the
period he broke into comics working for Charleton, and gradually
migrated to Marvel, circa 1975-1976.

He had a special affection for Rog 2000 that came through in the
interview. His complete work for Charleton and Marvel in that era
is in my checklist on page 1 of the topic.

I bought his first issue of DOOMSDAY +1 on the stands back in 1975,
and had no idea then who Byrne was, but still enjoyed it (Byrne did
6 issues, reprinted in 1985 with far better offset printing by
Fantagraphics with a 7th unpublished issue!)
Around 1980 I got very into Byrne's work, and was surprised to learn
from the checklist that this was one of his books!
