   I have seen a lot of people referring to the above mentioned
fact, but I am curious if anybody has heard straight from John
Byrne's mouth that he didn't put his name into the credits of
FF#286 for protest reasons.  I don't like to sound paranoid, but
with all of the strange sales pitches Marvel has tried lately it
seems to me that "The FF that Byrne refused to sign" might be a
sneaky way to sell out a particular issue.
