This commission makes me happy on a couple of levels. One, it's just great to see more Byrne art. Two, I've seen what his rates are and, last I heard, he charged double for drawing Marvel characters; someone laid out some serious dough for this piece. As often as you hear of creators who helped define characters getting little to no long-term benefit from it due to the old work-for-hire contracts, it's a bit heartening to get the feeling that some of them are doing all right anyway.
