Indexer Notes

Includes this note: "As John Byrne moved to pencil Captain America, the new witing/penciling team of Dough Moench and Bill Sienkiewicz led off FF #219 with a tale wherein the Sub-Mariner's old foe Captain Barracuda found the Proteus Horn (from Subby's first modern-era appearance way back in FF #4) and spearheaded a monstrous invasion of New York before our heroes and Namor finally captured him and ended his treat. John briefly interrupted the new creative team with Fantastic Four #220-221, where he handled both the script and art - his first published writting in the FF series - in a story originally intented as a promotional comic".
