John Byrne's Next Men #2

In "Worldview," John Byrne—writing as the editor of *Next Men*—steps into the spotlight with a candid letter column that doubles as a thoughtful essay titled "A Flame About This High…" The piece explores the fine line between homage and plagiarism in comic art, offering a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into the creative process. With Byrne both writing and illustrating the cover, the issue blends personal commentary with the distinctive visual style that defines his work.
