Set Description:

1968 X-men, Magneto; 1st Rogue. I am so stoked to own issue #110. How stoked? Check out my 10/09/2008 journal entry! One of these days Id also like to add a few other high grade issues from this run, including #47 (added 8/5/14), #48, #49 (added 7/10/12), #53, #102 (added 4/3/12), #103 (added 4/1/14), #104 (added 5/29/14), and #111 (added 3/27/10).

Then in #112, I introduced a new character named Mantis. And very soon thereafter I was doing Steve Englehart stories, which turned out to work much better for me...
