John Byrne
January 1982
A-story: **** // B-story: ***
A diptych on metamorphosis. One focuses on Johnny, who ironically is the most self-reflective of Byrne’s Four. His on/off g’friend learns she’s got flame powers too, hypnotically repressed by her stepdad (inventor of the ’40s Torch!). In the other, the Thing reverts to his original hide (oops!)
