MARVEL CHECKLIST

Legacy · Erstellt: 15.08.08, 22:32 Betreff: John Byrne... Prophet der Katastrophen

http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2008/08/14/comic-book-urban-legends-revealed-168/

Bei den Urban Comic Book Legends gibt es eine interessante Entdeckung:
John Byrne hat in seiner Laufbahn zahlreiche Katastrophen "vorhergesehen" und in den Comics eingearbeitet!
u.a. den Fall der Twin Towers, Dianas Tod und die Challenger-Katastrophe...

irgendwie gespenstig!

Zitat:

Fairly early on in his career at Marvel, Byrne drew an issue of Marvel Team-Up with writer Chris Claremont that involved a blackout in New York City.

Soon after the issue was released in 1977 (and months after Byrne had drawn it), New York City had one of its largest blackouts ever.

Zitat:

The next year, when Byrne was on Uncanny X-Men with Claremont, the pair had Japan be struck by an earthquake (courtesy of Mose Magnum).
In 1978, Japan was struck with a number of earthquakes.

Zitat:

(Speaking of Claremont, towards the very end of his run with Byrne on Uncanny X-Men, the pair depicted the dystopian world of 2013 in “Days of Future Past.” One of the characters from that story made it to the present, and in a later issue of Uncanny X-Men (#189), the character included a (in retrospect) chilling “flashback” to the destruction of the World Trade Center.

Zitat:

When Byrne began work on the first issue of his Superman reboot, his introduction of Superman to the world was going to be when Superman is forced to save the NASA space shuttle Challenger.
While working on the issue, though, the Challenger tragically was destroyed. Luckily, Byrne was working far enough ahead that he was able to redraw the pages so that now it was Superman saving a fictional space-plane (with Lois Lane aboard, natch).

Zitat:

Finally, and perhaps most notably, in late August 1997, Wonder Woman #126 came out, reflecting the short-lived death of Wonder Woman, Princess Diana of Themyscira.
That Saturday, the REAL Princess Diana was killed in a car accident.
