Owner's Description
1st cameo appearance of Erik the Red, key in the Phoenix saga on the animated series. Even gave the X-men a whooping at first, seeing the cover of this and the next issue, and a very formidable story and foe! Polaris appearance! Pretty bluish-purple cover, with that old style kind of toboggan or lodge hat. Are the X-men on a retreat or vacation? They are tried with fire and the coming of "Erik" the Red. After Magneto is revealed to be Lorna's Father, this issue is Erik as an emissary, but he is just disruptive. This one is keeping the brutal lessons coming, with another character of the same name coming later. Got to keep on those toes! The cartoon really was the first portrayal and telling of the Phoenix story that I had ever seen and who I know best. I was young and had heard tidbits here and there of the Phoenix story but to see it unfold on TV was invigorating! It was just all a bit overwhelming and other worldly, but it was thoroughly enjoyable.
Complete with a back cover picture of, Joe Jusko Masterpiece Collection art book of, "Beast!" Our furry footed origin in this issue of X-Men that went on to become the Beast with fur. Namely a more mutant breed!
Grader Notes:
crease top of whole book;
multiple crease right top of back cover;
spine stress lines breaks color.
