I'm not feeling it. He signed over part of the sketch with a ton of space available, she signature looks funny, and the character looks more like Gene Colan drew it than Mr. Byrne.

The signature looks a bit stiff to me.

Looks like his art to me. His signature has changed many times.

In each of these examples though, every signature is 'confident'


As a signature collector, I am not an expert, but I am an amateur.

This, to me, looks traced, no?

Good luck. I've been on his list now for well over a year and no word from his rep yet. It may never happen at all. I don't even know where I'm at on his list.

I agree. The sig has way too many points where the pencil looks like it hesitated.

And I don't think Byrne would draw calf muscles on Wolverine's left forearm.
