The rumor that I heard was that Byrne's contract with Marvel was coming up
for renewal soon, and that DC was trying to woo Byrne with big bucks, plus
the opportunity to write and draw Superman. A recent AMAZING HEROES reported
that DC was negotiating with Byrne to do Superman, but that if Byrne took it
on, it would be in addition to his Marvel work (how Byrne would be able to
write and draw three monthly books is beyond me).
	I haven't seen a COMICS BUYER'S GUIDE in a while (I get mine as
hand-me-downs), so I can't say if they've reported anything further.
