Set Description:
Jim Lee is lighting up the stage of the 1990's and taking first bow at the art lineup in the X-men from that decade, which proved its worth no matter the print run. Saving a title and or Marvel is on the mind of X-men Fans and Artist alike, and with once again Claremont being spotlighted front and center, things look good! not quite time to roll out the red carpet of these 30-year-old editions, but things are on the up and up!
Indeed, the plot thickens as the new characters or recent additions at the time get further character building. With a backdrop of Xavier's School for Youngsters, in Westchester, NY, and not Australia; although, they did get distribution too!
Keeping well versed with distributions means loading up on other venues where some may have been consistently for sale, but beware the missing issue, as it may have not been distributed and you could be looking forever. Those are found in certain series, but with the 1991 series it was more the world over as Claremont and Jim Lee were pushing product. Much to everyone's excitement at the edge and otherwise 90's style that they prolonged among fans and with ease. Ephemera such as cartoons and media, in turn had characters as well with voiceover people getting jobs, stardom, and overall furthering the careers within the hobby of comics!

Australian Price Variant. Longshot, Dazzler & Mojo appearance. Maverick backup story by Scott Lobdell & Mark Texeira. $1.80 cover price. Australia brings Jim Lee trying to finish out his run, and as common place an issue, it has its importance. Whether you go with a Pressman or an Australian Priced Variant, it takes the world over to bring home the happiness that was the early 90's. Print runs galore, through many volumes and issues, it was on the backs of greats and many a weary, tried and true artist, and with Claremont backing it all up, it is a wonder that all of it was so well done, distributed, and commercialized to the extent it was. Cartoons were starting up with everyone on their A game, and now that X-men '97 is back in play with streaming and screaming fans, it sums up well with the nostalgia! Not as overplayed, seemingly at the time, there really are that many fans of, "Last time, on X-men!" ~ Cyclops Intro!
Complete with a back cover picture of the insides to this issue, showing the full range for some characters. Mojo, Cyclops, and the Rogue getting in as a team conception lays form for the Claremont writing. Backsides can be delightful, but with the X-Men, you need someone to cover them as well!
Grader Notes:
creasing to cover;
scuffing to cover;
