Not John Byrne but…

This is from one of the first comics I remember reading (and I think I actually read it in England, where it was reproduced in black and white….)

I’d always assumed it was drawn by John Byrne, but apparently its a different Kirby acolyte named Dave Cockrum.

Anyway, here’s my abstract version of the same page.

The edges got a little snipped, but I figure no one minds but me, and I didn’t really want to scan twelve times to get it right…..

The text reads, “When I solve a puzzle, I am smart and you are confused.” Said by my son, of course.

  1. Cockrum was the first artist/co-creator of all the "new X-Men" that John Byrne then got famous for drawing.

    I like your abstract version.

  2. Kevin…you need to give me more than that. Why am I doing the drawing? Why did anyone put my drawing in a book? Why does anyone care about Dave Cockrum or the X-men? Why do we blog? What are we here?
