Hellboy: Seed of Destruction v. 1 (Hellboy): Seed of Destruction v. 1 (Hellboy (Dark Horse))

by: Mike Mignola, John Byrne
by: Mike Mignola

January 01, 2004
No graphic novel collection is complete without some titles, like Watchmen, Knightfall, Sin City and Hellboy!!
I first started reading Hellboy before the first movie came out, I was curious, got one to try and now have them all (and the novels and figures and statues). Seed of Destruction is the first in the series and it jumps straight in to Hellboys life in the B.P.R.D. (bereau for paranormal resreach and defense, kind of like a supernatural CIA). You just see he is a demon working for the agency, and he has a cool coat and a massive stone hand. But as the story goes on, you find he was summoned by Nazis and Ra ra rasputin to help win WW2. But he was saved by Proff. Bruttenholm and now fights for the good guys! Along with Abe Sapien ... Read More:

The Complete Patter

by: Michael Munro, John Byrne

September 13, 2007
. . .but for all who savour wit and humour. The Patter is arguably one of the great unacknowledged classic dialect books of our time - it sells by the barrowload in Glasgow of course, and has done since 1988, but has universal appeal. There have been lots of imitations of The Patter - in Scotland and out - but this is the original and best.

The Definitive Silver Surfer (Marvel Platinum) (Marvel Platinum)

by: Stan Lee, Marv Wolfman

August 06, 2007
There are only a few of these 'Definitive' collections from marvel and personally they are brilliant, giving the reader the orgins and some of the best stories from a character.

Firstly i love silver surfer and soo much about him the fact that his power is practically limitless and that he doesn't even want it is what is soo gd about silverado himself.

This collection was put together by Stan the man Lee and even has a forward written from him which i very much enjoyed reading.

this collection really puts together everything u need to know about the surfer including his very first appearance and his orgins. there is also the one shot comic Silver Surfer:Parable which in my opinion is a fantastic story and really ... Read More:

Writing Comedy (Writing Handbooks) (Writing Handbooks)

by: John Byrne

December 06, 2004
I let my heart rule my head. So many earlier reviews gave the impression that this book was the ultimate manual for comedy writers, that I thought I must have it. The reality is that it clearly has some helpful and interesting content, but I fear that some of the earlier reviewers may have been rather over exuberant in their praise. If you are a novice,then it will almost certainly be of some help, but if you have even a moderate amount of experience, I would sugges that your money may well be better spent elsewhere.

Superman: True Brit (Superman): True Brit (Superman)

by: John Cleese, Kim Johnson, John Byrne, Mark Farmer

January 23, 2006
I can live with the cliché's, I can live with the patronising ex pat, 'ollywood cockernee type characterisation's, I can even forgive John Byrne (once a legend in this business), but what I cannot forgive is that this is very poor and worst of all NOT FUNNY! It is simply short of the mark and way off target and desperately tries to capture a long dead zeitgeist that probably only ever existed in the minds of Americans watching "The Avengers" re-runs on TV as kids and in the long since dried up comedy brain of John Cleese who clearly spends way to much time in La La Land and out of England to recognise this for the poor excuse of a parody that it fails to be...shame
