A cascading cornucopia of cool comics, crazy cartoons, & classic collectables - plus other completely captivating & occasionally controversial contents. With nostalgic notions, sentimental sighings, wistful wonderings, remorseful ruminations, melancholy musings, rueful reflections, poignant ponderings, & yearnings for yesteryear. (And a few profound perplexities, puzzling paradoxes, & a bevy of big, beautiful, bedazzling, buxom Babes to round it all off.)

I love the cover too and will no doubt match it up sometime with the original!
ReplyDeleteAre they doing the same thing with X-Men Gold, do you know?
Dunno for sure, JP, but I'd imagine it's likely. Incidentally, the cover from this ish is the splash page from X-Men #2, wherein they fight 'The Vanisher'.
ReplyDeleteAh, thanks for that! I recognised it from somewhere, but couldn't find it! I was looking at the Fantastic covers, having drawn a blank with the first few X-Men covers!
DeleteI only remembered where it was from because of The Beast's gloves, JP.
ReplyDeleteThats an excellent cover - X-Men Gold has had a few issues and was on BBBC new late last night the interior artist Ardian Syaf, has been sacked for hiding religious references in his art - in addition one of the covers (A "hip hop" cover) has to be seen to be believed its really poor (either that or I just dont understnad what Hip Hop means in realtion to comic art).

I read about that, PM - what a tit that guy is, eh? Apart from offending people, he ruined his career at Marvel and really marked himself out as a loser. I'll read your links anyway to remind myself of the full story.
