For X-Volume II. Thought it might be fun to do my versions of covers for issues in which I did the interiors, but others did the outsides. 'Member these?

That re-do of the Magneto Triumphant cover is a dream come true!
What a clever staging of Wolverine's struggle-- the 3/4 angle has maybe even more drama than the original profile that George Perez chose!
I hope, in generous sincerity, that Dave Pruitt gets this edition. I know it's one of his favorites.

More great reproductions. I really like the intensity on Wolverine's face on the second one.

Assuming that to be true, I guess it would only be
fair. George improved on what I did on the interior
pages, when he did the cover, so now, 30 years
later. . .

Excellent work, indeed, Mr. Byrne!
Two questions:
[1] Why didn't you get first crack at the covers of so many X-MEN issues back when?
[2] Although you've mentioned that you today feel a bit distant from these characters, have these recent renderings in any way rekindled a bit of closeness?

(1) I wasn't "good enough".
(2) Nope. (Which may be why these are turning out
as well as they are. I often find minimal emotional
attachment leads to improved rendering. It's
becomes solely about the art.)

That exploding sound will be Dave Pruitt's eyes popping out of his head when he sees that second one.

Sadly -- for Dave, not me! -- this volume is also already sold. As is the third.

These are being sold to the same people who have the parking spots at the curb in front of the restaurants, get the hotel rooms with views, catch foul balls at the Yankee games, get stuck in elevators with supermodels and stuff like that, huh?

I wish.
Keep up the great work, JB. Loved the sweat on Wolverine's face. You can feel the tension. Terrific!

Great memories from those issues! It is really special to see your take on those covers. When I bought them I wondered why you didn't do more of the covers.

George Pérez has always been one of my favorite artists, but not one of my favorite cover artists. But the UNCANNY #112 cover was really amazing, one of the best covers I have ever seen on a X-Men book.
Odd coincidency, I bought the American comic (I owned only the Italian edition) just a week ago.
