JB - On another comic book forum I belong to, some people are debating whether the below is your work. I figured the best way to find out is to go to the source. The piece is from 1983.

First, a reminder that I have asked many times that the the subject of questions be included in the thread title. Second -- no, that is not my work.

Please accept my apologies for not including the subject of the question in the thread title, I will not make that mistake again.
Thank you for the quick response, it didn't look like your work to my eyes, but better to make 100% sure.

Now that Mr. Byrne has responded, it looks as if that might be Jim Starlin and Dick Giordano to these tired old eyes.
That space junk does have a kind of Byrne-esque quality to it, though.

I wonder if it's Jerry Ordway?

The copyright on the puzzle box is from 1983.

JB says it's not his, and in 1983 he was still exclusive to Marvel. My guess, Jerry Ordway, was working at DC on "All-Star Squadron" and there are details in that drawing that I think are evocative of his style as much as JB's work.

Looking closely, I am even more convinced it is Ordway. There are certain ways he draws muscles, and there's a little thing he does when drawing the corners of a character's mouth that I see here. It wpuld be early Ordway, but I am sure it is him.

A Google search for "Jerry Ordway puzzle" didn't bring up the exact photo, but there is a drawing he did many years later that echoes the drawing for the 1983 puzzle: LINK.

Weird. Looks like Ordway on the body, but not the face. Did he pencil and somebody else (Dick Giordano? or possibly Dave Hunt?) ink? Or did he ink somebody else's pencils?
