themarvelageofcomics: A page from UNCANNY X-MEN #138 by John Byrne and Terry Austin. This is a page from the very first issue of X-Men I ever read. I got it rolled up in my stocking for Christmas, which started a tradition that continued well into my teenage years. I still have it, too. It’s yellowed and beaten to hell, but I still reread it from time to time. As first issues go, it would be hard to beat this one, as it manages to sum up 15 or so years of X-Men history in a few dozen pages. Brilliant storytelling by Chris Claremont and John Byrne. VERY cool seeing the original artwork.
