Sweet action for kids 'n' cretins. Marjoram and capers.

What happened to John Byrne between his time on UXM and starting FF and Alpha Flight? His art is a lot sketchier (lazier?) on those following books, not as clean as I came to expect from his mutant work. Is it just that he was splitting the time writing and so he didn't have enough time to draw?
I actually prefer his art on FF (never read AF, so I can't comment) over UXM. Or maybe I'm not that enamoured with Terry Austin's inks. Either way, his FF is the high point of his career to me.
His faces seem so emaciated, it's really jarring. Everyone looks like an unwrapped mummy.
Compared to Byrne/Austin, yes, I can see that. But Byrne's FF is my representation of them, so I can't meaningfully criticize.

It irks me to know I'll never be this badass, but it comforts me to know none of the rest of you will be either.

Early 70s Marvel makes a statement about feminism.

Also, from a few issues earlier, this "thank you" hasn't aged well at all:

Robin's wearing socks and Batgirl’s wearing heels. Are they really maximizing their fighting ability?

No human normally stands that way, so I'm guessing Mary Jane is doing one of those hands-free attempts to work her underwear out from her butt.

The real question is why is PP looking away? Clearly she's showcasing for him. :shifty:

Well, supposedly she's at Madison Square Garden, so maybe she's adopted the wide stance to avoid stepping in a puddle of bodily fluids of some sort.

...Just a thought.

Real New Yorkers in the 70s accepted that, or so the weird nostalgia claims now.
