Alpha Flight #5 - John Byrne art & cover

John Byrne

Alpha Flight v1 #5, 1983 - Introduced in the first issue, the mutant dwarf Puck stars in his first solo adventure. The exuberant cover gives a glimpse into his abilities and personality. John Byrne does a capable job with depicting ordinary people in mundane settings (in this case, a hospital and a warehouse). His artistry come to fore on the action scenes (see interior page below), using the same multi-figure approach on the cover. Byrne also includes a back-up tale chronicling the early days of Michael Twoyoungmen, before he becomes Alpha Flight's Shaman. This is 5 of 30 Alpha Flight issues by Byrne.
