Dave Cockrum and John Bolton are the best X-men artists ever, their styles possess an unmatched nostalgic feel in perfect balance between tragedy and hope. I think you gave too many F's to JB's covers, because the lack of action and complexity is usually compensated by uncommon elegance. P.S. In the cover with the Dinosaur, Peter isn't in his Colossus form because in the story he tries to hide his mutant nature.

@thecomicsamurai 9 күн бұрын
Very cool! I wanted to be sure and not miss an issue when I was a kid, so to ensure that (and save some $) I got a subscription. Big mistake. They came all messed up and by the time I got them and realized how jacked they were, I was too late to get them off the shelves. Too funny. I went up to issue 101 before I fizzled out. It just wasn't for me anymore. I loved the ones till then though! Thanks for the comment!!!

My goal for 2025 is to build my comic/collectibles room. If it looks half as good as yours ill be happy. I like things organised too, so might steal your long box draws idea haha - The first single issues comic I ever owned or read was Uncanny X-men #283, my Uncle gave it to me, I was 5 and couldnt hardly read it. Bishop has been my fav ever since 😀
