I love Ordway, but generally their collaborations felt like too much Ordway, not enough Byrne. Sometimes those things work, sometimes not - I liked their FF issues when they came out in my teens, but now it seems like there's too much tension between the styles of the two artists.
A pairing I really dug that I'm pretty sure most others did not was the (one?) issue of FF that Al Gordon inked. Gordon used a feather-light, detail-rich approach that was kind of like the anti-Coletta. I don't know if it would be a sustainable collaboration, but it was nice to see JB's pencils through that particular lens - particularly 35 years on, when a look back shows very few other inkers took that approach.
