There\u2019s nothing like the old days.\u00a0 You remember back to when you started that first \u201cREAL\u201d job and became a professional.\u00a0 All you wanted to do was impress and show your worth.\u00a0 Well, that and to actually get paid.<\/p>\n

So think back to the Summer of 1975:\u00a0 Jaws had just hit theaters and started to change the landscape of cinema; Jimmy Hoffa was holding his last few public meetings before his famed disappearance. The US and Russia were prepping for the launch of their first ever joint space mission with Apollo-Soyuz.\u00a0 Disco music was steadily gaining momentum and John Byrne was about to have his first true full time book.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, John Byrne and Chris Claremont would be putting out the Iron Fist comic shortly, but first, they would finish the run started in Marvel Premiere.\u00a0 And that is what 3rd<\/sup> Degree Byrne is here to cover.<\/p>\n

Tim Elliott, Nigel Spink, Kirk Greenfield and Brian Hughes all get together to start a look at John Byrne\u2019s run on Iron Fist as it began in Marvel Premiere 25.<\/p>\n

So get you a glass of Carrot Juice, or something else disgustingly healthy and Join 3rd<\/sup> Degree Byrne as they look back at Iron Fist in Marvel Premiere 25!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Fan-Riffic!*<\/p>\n

<\/span>A patented NO-Prize to anyone who can state where that word came from.<\/span><\/p>\n
