     A while back, someone queried on John Byrne's books.
I now have a comment.  I like John Byrne's books.  I wasn't
sure when I started his series of FF that I would, but upon
reflection, I look forward to each with a sense of eager anticipation.
I know that each will have something in it to interest me, and possibly
make me think.  
    My immediate comment, has to do with the most recent issues
of Alpha Flight (5?).  This is the one with the Puck solo 
story.  I have often thought that the problem with team books
is their lack of stories featureing individual members of the cast.
At least twice now, Byrne has done this, well, I might add.
FF 234(?) had a Human Torch story, which had too young a Torch 
for my tastes, but was nonetheless a story which saw the Torch
in a light rarely seen, on his own, not a hot dog, but a hero.
     The Puck story was a good cute story, not meanningful in 
the overall scheme of Alpha Flight, I think, but I enjoyed it.
