Owner's Description

1st appearance of Alex Summers (later becomes Havok) and the Living Pharaoh (Ahmet Abdol). Origin of Angel. I just had to "complete the set", so to speak. I have X-men #58 at CGC now, which is the 1st Havok in costume. I was a fan of Havok as a kid, he always seemed to get the girl. He still had some of the same hick ups that I saw with Cyclops (Scott Summers) as a leader though, of the X-force. He tried to trail blaze but found that he was capable of the same bullheadedness. Sometimes what we see in other's is actually a reflection of ourselves. Coming to terms and trying to do better is needed as a leader. Havok had some powers that could be reckless. Here drawn as a normal anybody, it is all a bit mesmerizing. He has blonde hair, and they draw his power effect as circles that get elongated on his 1st cover appearance in #58, looks like fun to animate on the animated series!

Complete with a back cover picture of my issue of #56, 1st Monolith, which is also the 1st Neal Adams work. R.I.P. I'm accumulating readers for the set, and still awaiting #58, which is also Neal Adams, to come back from CGC. #58 is the 1st Havok in costume, and I'm excited to add to the collection!

Grader Notes:
light creasing to cover;
light foxing to cover;
tanning interior cover.
