Hello, my first post, old timey-ish (female) reader (since Avengers 189 fresh off the corner-shop spinner rack, but quite possibly earlier with Wheelie & The Chopper Bunch, can't say for sure which one of those I had)...
I've searched here and elsewhere but I cannot find the info... please, where can I find the published (meaning inked) short preview Hidden Years comic that appears among the pencilled pages??? I just caught up on #2-22 of this great comic series last fall and I can't have an incomplete set can I? Okay, I can and have for lots of things, but I would really like to have this on paper wherever it appeared if it did.
I see there is another Jansen here who likes Mr. Byrne's work a lot; what are the odds? My father came to Canada from Holland after WWII. It's a very common name and as far as I know we have no connection.

Hi Rebecca!
I grew up thinking I was Danish on my Dad's side, but we did a DNA test and I found out we're mostly Scottish! I don't think I have any Dutch (5 percent is just "European"), but I do still have one percent Danish--I think that's where the name came from!
Never knew there was a HIDDEN YEARS preview! Can anybody post it?

Welcome to the forum, Rebecca.
No, this is the first I've read of a HIDDEN YEARS preview. Always learning something new here!

Hello Rebecca welcome, one of my favourite singers is Floor Jansen of Nightwish and she`s Dutch, so you may be related!

Welcome to the Forum, Rebecca!
The preview story, entitled “Test to Destruction”, is featured in volume one of X-MEN: THE HIDDEN YEARS trade paperback.
This is an excellent series, and I really enjoyed picking up the trade paperbacks and reading this in one shot. I usually prefer JB inking his own work, but Tom Palmer’s inks on this book are really amazing.

I've noted that not coercing Terry into inking HIDDEN YEARS was probably a commercial mistake, but DAY-am, Tom gave me just the look I was after!

JB, any interesting anecdotes to convey from discussions with Tom Palmer about emulating Neal Adams? I liked the fact that the look and feel of the book was similar to the work Neal Adams had done prior to the reprints. I know lots of people expected The Hidden Years to look like your run with Terry Austin, but going for the "Adams look" was a great idea and showed me how much thought was being put into the art.

Thanks all! Especially thanks for letting me in on where that story was published; I couldn't seem to find out otherwise in this age of information. I'll go for that other #94, hoping it doesn't cost anything like the first #94.
Tom Palmer was the perfect choice because it was almost as if he had stayed on the comic from the Neal Adams issues! I had reprints of those (first in a hardcover 'annual' from England) and even managed to find three of the originals, boy were X-Men comics hard to find even where there was a comic book shop (Victoria always seemed to have one at least), and Neal Adams seemed to be the most collected artist.
In my new enthusiasm (and having spent a few hundred dollars) I cooked up a Byrne friendly post on my blog. I hope it's okay to post the link here. I won't promote it otherwise as it's pretty haphazard and very rarely about comic books (and it is ad free)...

My BF thought he was from Danish people too, but then he found there was more to the story and a lot of family had come from Austria, sort of like Lily Renee's story from that great Trina Robbins biographical comic!

Just ordered X-Men vol. 2 #93, 94 & 95 from a Canadian seller, so you've "made a difference". No clue really about any X-universe history past about X-Factor #3. I saw you-know-who with old one-eye on the cover of #95, hopefully she didn't start craving hot spicy snacks at night again.
Maybe this isn't the place to mention it, but I used to imagine a '70s Pontiac Firebird car done over in green, black and gold. I wonder if anyone else ever had that idea?
