NOTE
Regarded as one of the premiere classic Marvel Comics runs of the 1980s, I didn't get to John Byrne's FANTASTIC FOUR until somewhere around 2004 or so, and at the time I didn't wow me as much as I had expected. But in 2011 and 2013, Marvel released the full run in two big Omnibus volumes which I managed to acquire for a song. I then decided to give this stuff another chance and see if it impressed me a bit more than my first go-round with it.

    What about FF #220/221? These were Byrne's first.

      True, and he did do some other work on the FF prior to #232, but my focus above was on the "John Byrne run", which is generally considered to be 232 - 293.

    Avengers #233 by Roger Stern/John Byrne/Joe Sinnott is a crossover with FF #256.

    I understand it didnt wow you but i suspect getting to it in 2004 some 20 years after its release hits different. the same way seeing the wright brothers fly nowadays wouldnt amaze someone that uses airplanes or saw jets fly. the run is pure byrne back to basics magic, outstanding art and no digital coloring.
