Oh that’s right? Caliban was like a alien looking guy right? hm So they just used the original art as a guide to include Caliban in the cover artwork? Pretty nifty Abril…..

 

Thanks for the catch Claudio! (thumbs u

 

:facepalm:

 

Now you are telling me you have NEVER read an X-Men story with Caliban?

How’s that you know Proteus? lol

Collecting is definitely harmful for good reading… :D

 

Homework: borrow a good run of X-Factor (the Simonson man & wife run) and learn EVERYTHING about Caliban, the Morlocks, Power Pack & al.

 

Nah... I have... Just forgot about him.... My reading tastes jumped around a lot... Though to be honest I haven't read any of the x-factor stuff.... Have the .cbrs just haven't gotten around to it! Will do teach! lol (thumbs u

Let’s see if Matt keeps his attention…

 

Caliban:

This seems to explain the hat, so very likely that foreign X-Men (using a reworked Proteus cover) is an X-Men in the range #169-171.

And this blog explains the Caliban (unrelated) which never made it, very interesting:

So guys, while searching the Brazilian database for that spidey Tony needed(which I still didnt find!) I came across some very interesting examples of art work re-purposing. Editorial Abril is one publisher that certainly didn't have a problem changing artwork to suit their needs.... the bats 227 rework being a well known example.

 

 

which one is the spidey that Tony needed ?
