I've said it here before, but I'll repeat myself,
Marvel now only exists at the tip of John Byrne's pencil!

Absolutely amazes me how you are able to capture Sue's essence with a single drawing. Beautiful but modest. Caring and confident. Powerful. The definitive Susan Richards. And I miss her.

And I miss her. •• The key to Sue is elegance. When she walks into a room, heads turn. Not because she has big boobs, or dresses in flashy ways. Because she is completely comfortable inside her own skin, and projects this in everything she does. And, no, she would not appear in public with holes cut in her costume, or in a micro-bikini with a navel piercing!

Has there been a Grace Kelly on the public scene in recent memory? Someone radiant yet demure, exciting yet self-possessed and strong? I don't know if comic fans or creators have anything in modern pop culture to go off of when imagining what Sue would be like in real life.
Perhaps the nadir of this (okay, no, the Rockin' Jellybean statue is the nadir. Maybe some of Mark Pacella's work with the character...) was when Reed went missing and Sue assumed leadership of the team. In order to make her credible in the role, the writer (DeFalco?) had her meet her angrier, more aggressive side (Malice) and unite the two into a stronger, more driven Sue, one complete with a costume designed as a sort of tribute to what Sue wore as Malice, only now it was a "good" version of the outfit...
As if Sue wasn't equipped to assume a role at the forefront of her own family without the patchwork identity overlay from her own "stronger, more villainous" self...

...
Diane Lane , to me, comes closest to that description in today's world.

Byrne's FF is still the "real" FF to me. :) Yes, I love Kirby's stuff, but this was "my" FF, and it still is. The Torch looks particularly great in this drawing.

Max,
I agree 100 per cent. That is the FF that I grew up with. Nobody
since has come close to what JB did during his run.
