Uncanny X-Men #123 Hidden Nudity: Happy Birthday, John Byrne!

 Happy birthday to writer/artist John Byrne (born July 6, 1950)! Presenting a bit of "Easter Egg" nudity from Byrne's run on Uncanny X-Men: In issue #123, Byrne and inker Terry Austin drew Storm coming out of the shower with one of her nipples partially in shadow, knowing that the coloring and printing process would cover it up completely in the published book. Thanks to the internet, though, the original art has been shared to show the partially-visible nipple...

And the panel as it actually appeared in Uncanny X-Men #123; story by Chris Claremont, art by John Byrne & Terry Austin.
