John Byrne Draws Cyclops (Artists Alley) | SYFY WIRE

[@patrillasstudent]

The best part of this video was the classy shade he threw on Rob Liefeld. I died out loud 😂

[@odracircomix7359]

legend

[@The1776er]

Yes lol

[@VZAAGE]

Epic video... it's great to see the legendary John Byrne drawing and the stories he had to share were great.

His confidence with that marker is insane. I love his X-men but the way he saved Superman will always be the coolest thing he did for me. 🙏

John Byrne has always been my favorite artists. I love this guy.

Barely a diss. Easy to read a lot into it.

[@PanConQueso001]

Just to clarify, John didn’t agree with the title of being the new "king", someone else REALLY didn’t agree with John being the new king, but again, the same person said Liefeld was the new king, sooo, there goes his credibility as a critic. Yeah, it was a subtle Liefeld diss.

[@31leoceara]

Who was the artist who thought Liefeld was the new king? Was it Todd McFarlane?

[@ArtofLunatik]

Watched this with a smile on my face

[@camila_costa12]

Me too

[@SeriousRereader]

Cyclops is still the cool character in my opinion.

[@Belowone]

Unfortunately hes the most Over hated super hero in marvel. Cyclops is the best leader in the X-men, really underrated when it's come to him as a Leader, who did everything he can for the best of Mutant kind.

Man! As a kid growing up in the 1980s i was in awe of John Byrne’s work. George Perez as well (in the DC comics). John Byrne is a Marvel legend.

[@Mitsuraga]

Love this guy. His Fantastic Four run was mostly excellent.

[@7A35]

You beat me to it! His Fantastic Four run is classic.

[@CapricornMediaProducts]

He still got it.

[@LATVERIAN1]

I would frame this in silver & gold. Thank you, Mr. Byrne.

[@theunwantedcritic]

So good to see one of my favorite artists take center stage again.

[@dougg1075]

Just found this!! How rare is this? Love it. Guy was my artistic hero as a kid. If it were not for his comics my childhood would have been absolutely unbearable.

Byrne is my fav and esp. his Xmen.

Genius. So grateful for SyFy sitting him down to draw and talk about his impact on comics. THANK YOU!

[@Jycatgc6282]

John Byrne, my all time favorite comic artist during the 1970s. He’s still is a spectator artist!

[@udasu]

X-Men, FF, Alpha Flight, Supes - my fav. Byrne runs.

[@Belowone]

She-HULK was also a fun run!

[@jrodindigo]

Mine too...wow!! I had all the issues he did with Alpha Flight & Fantastic Four (as well as of course The X-Men) and I know ALL the great storylines from them! All the best FF issues were the ones he wrote and illustrated. The only reason why I ever bought a Superman comic book was because of him. He is and always will be the greatest

[@CartoonManWhoo]

he also did a great 3 issue Batman arc with a famous almost wordless issue with Aparo.

[@blastman2761]

Sketching with a sharpie-True comic master.

[@Ultimatetomatoman09]

John Byrne is the one of the reasons why I love X-Men and draw them all the time

[@gabrielp9646]

The best (or at least, my favorite) Superman artist.

[@Evan.Arapis]

John Byrne still has it, he draws like the good ol' days !

[@mattceccotti]

He's exactly as I thought he would be from reading his posts through the years. He just cracks me up.

[@colechung7806]

I keep coming back to this video still can't figure out why but I know John Byrne is a legend

[@eloiseaka3887]

He was my favorite artist growing up! I love his work!

[@Barfly05]

....so awesome to watch John working. I was such a huge fan of his in the Eighties I incorporated a lot of his technique into my own artwork. Thanks for sharing...and thanks Mr. Byrne for your creativity....

[@BrianCinBengals]

These videos are such a gift. Very thrilled that John is sharing his gifts and stories.

[@beastdude507]

Currently reading his Superman run. Loving it

[@davidrettenmaier3272]

Still a great artist. I pray he returns to Marvel and X-Men if the rumors are true.

[@AP-go1ks]

Wow, he is so quick, incredible talent, read tons of his comics in the late 70s through mid 80s back in the day.

[@Michael-ns1ey]

I go out of my way to give credit where it's due to someone drawing digitally, nodding my head, going 'Yeah, it's good, really no difference.' Then I see this; and I'm thrilled to bits like I was when I first fell in love with drawing.

[@adzmega]

He's the king. Most big names now look up to this guy.

[@richarddunn7017]

Knowing sharpie fades over time.breaks my heart with this drawing.

[@cdheidt]

John Byrne saved my otherwise hellish adolescence, which happened to coincide with his stint on the X-Men, and then on the Fantastic Four. His style is just so unique and enjoyable. Of course, all of us comic artist wannabees copied his style, so I'm sure Marvel got a lot of submissions that looked very similar. I have something in common with Mr. Byrne: My mother gave all my Transformers away to some children's charity also, and it's cost me a fortune to get them back.

[@dougg1075]

chris witness exactly the same here.

[@London_Thomas]

Hearing Rob Liefield being the king is the most offensive thing I've ever heard

[@druiz127]

That gave me a nightmare

[@DelightLovesMovies]

I love that! thanks SYFY WIRE

[@odracircomix7359]

LEGEND. BEST SUPERMAN ARTIST. NEVER MISSED AN ISSUE WHEN HE DREW IT.

[@paladinPraveen]

My most favourite writer/artist! A true master!

[@ArtrichStudio]

One of my biggest influences. Who would say that Rob Liefeld is the king though?! That's crazy. So many people i would list before him.

[@theuserintheroom4450]

True. I wouldn't even put Rob at all on my list.

[@rubenpadilla484]

I could have sworn that it was Todd McFarlane who said that. I remember him saying something along those lines in an interview in CBG or something around the time Image was formed.

[@youtubebitchcenter1463]

Sounds like something Narcissistic Todd would say... will have to look into it!

[@benhopper3363]

I believe it was Erik Larsen and Robert Kirkman, who must've been sharing a crack pipe at the time. I hear crack is the drug of choice over at Image.

[@SJTMASSIVE]

I believe it was Erik Larsen.

[@MrRhoadsRules25]

"Draw it like a negative" It actually blows my mind that I never realized that that was how they were drawn.

[@bradleyrobinson7552]

Literally laughed out loud about who the person said the True New King was!!! Whoever that person is, he's deranged! Whoever he is, he comes right out of a comic-book himself!

[@Quanic2000]

Rob Liefeld, Mr. I Cant Draw Feet, as the new king after Jack Kirby!? I bet it was Rob himself who called up Byrne.

[@nicolasbazzano2028]

Quan Nguyen, Rob also can’t draw hair. That’s why his characters usually have those horrible helmets.

[@spiderneil]

John Byrne is without a doubt my favorite artist and writers of all time. But in my opinion, in his later career, his art has become very sketchy. I wonder if the reason is Byrne is inking his rough draft rather than inking his finished pencils. Pretty much like he did in this video.

[@31leoceara]

I agree. He doesn't give the same amount of love and effort to his art as he used to.

[@Moodboard39]

It's obviously he's old... Duhhh

No way in hell is Liefeld better than Byrne. Byrne is the superior writer and artist. Byrne's She-Hulk alone is magnificent. BTW John, Gambit is the cool one!
