Owner's Description

The first storyline to feature the Sentinels concludes. An important piece of both comic history and my own personal journey through the Marvel Universe as the Sentinels played such a huge part in the X-Men animated series from the 1990s.

Something about this particular book kept calling to me. I've owned it for over a decade, and while I was paring down my ungraded Silver Age X-Men collection, something just wouldn't let me sell this book. Not only due to the Sentinel connection, but also because every time I handled it I kept saying "This looks like a 4.5 to me, but damn is it a solid book." As WW Chicago 2014 approached, I finally told myself I was going to complete an X-Men 14-16 Signature Series run, and this one would be included.

Once again, CGC showed me that I generally suck at accurately grading Silver Age books. After a Signature from the man himself, Stan Lee, on 8/23/2014, and a pressing, I now have a nice mid-grade SS 6.0 copy.
