Today we go inside the mind of a rising star, a young talent who is about to impact generations of fans going about a decade of just an unprecedented heater.

This is an interview from 49 years ago, an undiscovered interview that I hadn't seen

until just a few weeks ago. I go through it at depth. We compare and contrast it to an interview

later after he's become the biggest star in comic books.

This is none other than John Byrne. It's an episode I'm calling Burn notice. You're going to hear me

early on when I'm talking about some hot topics. You're going to hear me mispronounce, misrepresent

the NBA reporter,

Zach Lowe as Nick Lowe.

Forgive me, it happened.

Hey, I got a busy day ahead of me.

I got to get out of here.

I got to go sign some Youngblood comics,

but not before we enjoy an all-new episode of Robeservations.

Hey, everybody, and welcome to another edition of Rob Observations.

I am your host, Rob Leifeld, and by now, you know, I've been doing this across five

decades, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s, 2020s, 40 years making the comics over 50, 52 years

of consuming comics. I love them. I just love them so much. And we talk about them. We talk

about them here. We talk about their effects. We talk about what's going on currently in the

comic book marketplace, in the movie marketplace that reflects so much of the superhero culture now.

You got your streaming shows.

You got your Marvel games.

Marvel Rivals is still crushing it.
