Old label. First appearance of new X-Men. First Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus and Thunderbird. The background to my purchase of this comic is that in May 2001 I purchased a raw 7.5 copy, and in January 2003 I part-exchanged it for an 8.5 slabbed copy. Then in January 2005 I part-exchanged that book for this 9.4 copy with Silver Acre Comics in the U.K.
