Separated at Byrne-th Month #4: "Why so negative?"

John Byrne presents Separated at Byrne-th Month!As April winds to a close, we bid farewell to all the usual events that April brings: April Fool's Day, Tax Day, Easter, Shakespeare's Birthday, National Eggs Benedict Day, Eight-Track Tape Day...farewell, we shall never see their likes again. (Until next year.) I'm sure you're all sorry to see National Eraser Day go (especially this guy) but will you miss Separated at Byrne-th Month? In the words of Asia, only time will tell. So let's ring out the double-fortnight of Byrney Goodness with a pair of maple-flavored, hockey-infused, Kraft dinner-lickin' good covers from the only comic book you now need a passport to read legally: Alpha Flight!

Legend has it that if you place these two covers on top of each other, the universe implodes. Luckily I have them bagged and boarded separately!
