The french editor for DC comics Artima/Aredit/Sagedition, had closed doors around 1987/8. Amongst the last things they published was Crisis on infinite earths, but not the rebooted books.
We weren't aware that JB had moved to DC. The main Marvel publisher, Lug, was a bit late on some books, like The Fantastic Four they started to publish in february 1969, and even if in the mid 80s we got 2 issues every month, we were still late. In the late 80s, Byrne was for us still on the FF. June 86 is the month we got the last Moench/Sienkevich and the first issue of the new Byrne run, this time as regular writer and artist. This would last to January 89. I started to go to shop that got importerd comics in 1990. That's when i found out what had happened to the Dc comics that hadn't been by then published in France anymore for a few years. That's also when i found that JB had worked on the Superman books. Those spoken of in this thread are amongst the first american editions i bought, in back issues still aviable at the comics shop. DC wouldn't be back in France, ( excepted for a few isolated stories, like The Killing Joke or DKR and Year One, published by Comics USA or Zenda editions) for a few more years. But Byrne would be back sooner, on She Hulk, in september 1990. The series would be published in Nova, the Lug edition monthly that also published the FF.
