Hilarious.
How did he get so bitter?
Yeah, he is a sour-puss to say the least. He has been screwed over more times than any other creator I can think of, but his "vinegar" attitude, I am sure, is helping in no-way, shape or form.
Like I said, I love the honesty (or at least his version of it ... and he is usually pretty truthful) but damn ... better ways to go about it.
I just picture his run on AVENGERS ... with Henry Peter Gyrich being Byrne himself.
Cranky ole bastard.
Still love his stuff though.
