I thought I'd add a Checklist of Byrne's early work (the first two eras of Byrne's career).

The first 1975-1980 part of the checklist is from the SQ Productions book THE ART OF JOHN BYRNE ( I added the book itself to the list, along with cover-dates and page-counts for each issue), which goes up to mid-1980. Some of the series listed continue past the July 1980 cut-off date, and I'll complete these runs in the 1980-1986 checklist section.
