These are kind of odd. 
But this is kind of cool.

A life sized cardboard cut out of John Byrne's Doctor Doom exists in this world and I don't own it??????

They can slip things by you JB? I assumed they had to pay you some sort of royalty if they used your art in promotional materials.

That Mexican issue 1 of Superman is interesting, Nathan. I'm struck by
the splash page of Lois and Clark, as well as the panel of Metallo. The
art actually seems to be extended.JB, Were you the one who did the work on that or did someone take
the liberty to extend it out themselves?

I have that same Doom standee in my garage. When I was 9 o r10 years old it was in a video store along with a Spidey one (will post pics next week when school is out). I asked the guy in charge of renting cassettes about the standees and he said he'd "put my name on them" and I could pick them up in 2 or 3 weeks when they got new promo posters/items in.....well, two days later a friend and I were skateboarding behind the store when we saw the same employee of Hollywood at Home video chunk them into the dumpster...*so yes, at a very young age I "dumpster-dived" for my Byrne fix!

I've got some "Odd Byrne Stuff" similar to Nathan's: Man of Steel in Hebrew! I was in Israel in '89, and found these (and no other comics) in a little grocery store: Man of Steel #1-5 (no 6), and Superman #1.
As you can see, because Hebrew is read left to right, they flopped the images so that the art and the order of the panels would be correct. Buutttt...this means that Superman's emblem gets flopped too.

And since there aren't any ads in the books, they had to add things like puzzle pages . . .
. . . and use single panels as splash pages. The production of the books is also pretty bad. (Note the blue rectangle in the lower left corner; a piece of tape or film left on the blue printing plate.)

Here in issue #4 Lois' dress goes from red to blue, and Lois and Clark become Skrulls. (They mixed up the color plates, and printed blue ink when it was supposed to be magenta.)
And here on the left they swapped the blue and yellow plates. Was no one paying attention?!?

An odd "benefit" of them stretching out the art to fit more pages was every now and then we get a double-page spread of greatly enlarged art. JB's work as Pop Art!

The oddest thing I have is the FF Cd-Rom. I can't find a picture of it online. It's the Galactus/Frankie Raye story, slightly edited.

Seems odd that they'd reverse Superman's S, after all Superman isn't using Hebrew alphabet. Makes Superman look odd to me with the part on the other side. Nice to see how others do it though. Thanks.
