Looking up something else, I was very surprised to see that in CHARLTON BULLSEYE #4&5 (1976), John Byrne WROTE and drew two 11-page chapters of DOOMSDAY+1! First, I had no idea there were extra chapters of that beloved old series I have every issue of! Second, aside from co-plotting X-MEN, I thought JB's first solo writing was FANTASTIC FOUR #232!

Am I missing any other early (or surprising) professional, published JB writing?

JB was writer/artist for Space:1999 #6, also back in '76.

If you're looking for any examples pre-FF #232, JB also wrote two earlier issues of FANTASTIC FOUR, #'s 220 & 221.

And of course MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE #50, which was JB's first full writing gig at Marvel.

Ah yes, I blanked on those FF and MTIO issues, but that SPACE: 1999 issue is a surprise!
