Byrne-ing to Read: Space: 1999 #3--Written By This Year's Inkpot Recipient Nick Cuti

Super-star-to-be John Byrne took over the art chores of Charlton's color Space: 1999 with issue #3 (December 1975). He really got to show off his sci-fi chops on that mag--skills which would later allow him to blow us all away on stuff like X-Men, Star-Lord, Star Trek, Superman, Next Men, and so many other sci-fi oriented comics in the decades that followed.

This particular story was written by none other than E-Man co-creator Nick Cuti, who won the coveted Inkpot Award at this year's ComiCon International! Congratulations, Mr. Cuti!
