Doomsday +1 #2 - John Byrne art & cover


Doomsday +1 #2 - John Byrne art & cover


Doomsday Plus One #2, 1975 - In this second issue of the post-doomsday sci-fi series, John Byrne's layouts and drawings are surprisingly good for such an early effort. His two page center spread is unpolished, yet well composed. The storyline requires several complex visuals, including aircraft, machinery and various robots which the artist handles with the confidence of a seasoned professional. With this issue, Byrne begins a series of covers in pen and ink and perhaps colored washes or watercolors(?). This is number 2 of 6 Doomsday +1 issues with Byrne art and/or covers. See today's posts or more Byrne or Doomsday +1 issues.
