Wow!
I guess I've been "cheating" ever since I got my copy of How To Draw Comics the Marvel Way back in the seventies. That damn Buscema is an enabler!

John Byrne, you seem to have an uncanny ability to treat things that 'the world' considers absurd as if it were real. I suppose one could convoke "Spirits in the Material World" in the same sense as The Police. I personally believe the Spirit World is more real than our Physical World, just saying. 

You certainly have outstanding artistic merit combined with an eccentric ability to connect the dots, so to speak. Einstein worked much the same way -- the Hypothetical Deductive Method seems to have the greatest success, sir.

The inspiration behind my posting this message was the snap-shot above. Technically this was Dave Cockrum's art. But you certainly do weave one smooth tapestry. 

I have heard your work on Wonder Woman is brilliant. I suspect you did something with her 'magic lasso' which is analogous to the Roman Catholic Tradition of praying the Rosary. But, admittedly, I may not have read the comic series yet. I am only going on First Impressions.

Wonder Woman’s lasso was originally portrayed as a fine chain. If I had taken it back to that interpretation* I might have played with that rosary idea, but I didn’t.

* Causing more mental anguish for those who were so upset when I insisted what she wore on her head was a headband, not a tiara.
