One Fan's Opinion #57 : Which Brings Us to John Byrne

Then John started writing. He wrote a story where the modern Thing met the old lumpy Thing and cured him (see "Marvel Two-In-One" #50). John took a bit of trivia about the Thing having physically changed over the years and made a story out of it. He even introduced a way of dealing with time travel that was not only novel, but made a certain amount of sense! Ben Grimm went into the past to cure himself in an earlier stage in his own development and in doing so he inadvertently created an alternate reality. That concept of time travel was one I'd utilize years later in my own work. Thanks, John!
