Fantastic Four Visionaries: John Byrne #[1]

In "Back to the Basics!", John Byrne delivers a sharp, character-driven tale where Johnny finds his girlfriend Frankie suddenly manifesting powers eerily like his own. As her memories resurface, she begins to recall a long-buried past tied to Professor Phineas T. Horton and a mysterious WWII-era experiment involving the original Human Torch. With Byrne handling every aspect of the interior art and inks, and Bob Sharen’s colors adding depth, this 2001 issue blends personal mystery with classic Marvel intrigue—cover by Byrne, who also pens and draws the story.
