John Lindley Byrne is a British-born Canadian-American author and artist of comic books. Since the mid-1970s, Byrne has worked on nearly every major American superhero.
Byrne's better-known work has been on Marvel Comics'
X-Men
and
Fantastic Four
and the 1986 relaunch of DC Comics’
Superman
franchise. Coming into the comics profession exclusively as a penciler, Byrne began co-plotting the
X-Men
comics during his tenure on them, and launched his writing career in earnest with
Fantastic Four
(where he also started inking his own pencils). During the 1990s he produced a number of creator-owned works, including
Next Men
and
Danger Unlimited
. He also wrote the first issues of Mike Mignola's
Hellboy
series and produced a number of
Star Trek
comics for IDW Publishing.
