E-Man #9 - John Byrne art

E-Man #9

E-Man v1 #9, 1975 - John Byrne's robotic creation, Rog 2000, turns into a man thanks to a grateful modern day witch. This humorous back-up tale is primitively drawn and perhaps tries too hard to elicit a reaction. On the positive side, Byrne employs a gradated halftone panel is used to signal the transformation, a unique approach that works successfully and is surprisingly efficient. This story was later reprinted in the compilation Rog 2000. Other artists in this bronze age comic include Joe Staton. Cover by Staton. This is 3 of 4 E-man issues by Byrne.
