  • Canadian Writer/Penciller/Inker. Has worked for Marvel, DC, and many other comic book companies. One of the best known and influential comics creators (and at one point, among the best paid as well.) He's also fairly controversial, due to his attitudes both with comics fans and pros. There's a reason his last TV Tropes page was entirely nuked.

  • John Byrne föddes 1950 i England, växte upp i Kanada, men är sedan flera år amerikansk medborgare. Han är i första hand serietecknare, men skriver även sina egna manus. Framför allt har han verkat inom superhjältegenren på förlagen Marvel och DC.

  • He wrote and provided all of the artwork for the final issue in IDW's Star Trek: Alien Spotlight comic series, "Alien Spotlight: Romulans". This was his first major foray into the Star Trek universe despite his being a long-time fan of the series. He originally contributed some artwork to the DC "Who's Who in Star Trek 1" and "Who's Who in Star Trek 2". According to Byrne, "First, I was just tracing photographs. That's okay, and works well when we're dealing with a limited number of images, but it doesn't work for whole issues. Second, there did not have to be approvals from "on high". Nobody had to sign off on their likenesses. The upcoming Romulan book is the same, which is one of the things that enticed me into doing it." [1]
  • His cartoons feature regularly in a wide range of newspapers and magazines. He has also worked for the Christian Herald, Private Eye, the BBC’s in-house magazine Ariel, Voluntary Sector magazine and for many industry and trade magazines. His ‘live cartoons’ show - a combination of stand up comedy, art class and audience participation - has been performed at festivals, school and library and at corporate events all over the UK. He has also demonstrated cartooning on TV for the BBC, Nickelodeon and Channel 5. For a time in the 1980s he was Communications Officer for UNICEF in Malawi.
