I can't believe you guys have no love for 113.

This is possibly the greatest X-Men cover of all time.

What about this does not kick 12 kinds of ?

My feelings are that the best Silver-Age covers are better then any Bronze-Age and the best Golden-Age covers are better then Silver-Age.

 

I grew up buying Bronze-Age, and I really feel that too many of them look alike. With Silver-Age that is not the case, as the different artist seemed to have a style all there own. And GA is great because each publisher had a unique style (compare, Timely to DC to Fox to EC to Star, etc.). So much variety, it's amazing. cloud9.gif

#113 is awesome, issue #112 is burned in my memory forever. Talk about a kick arse battle cover. #140 is just pure talent and if that scene doesn't scare you more than a guy that looks like he is auditioning for a spot as the Planters peanuts rep. confused-smiley-013.gif Don't get me wrong I love the Count, he is a great a villian but I just can't get excited about that cover as it doesn't even hold a candle to some of the later issues: 183,194,196,199,201,207,209,211,212- wow what a run.

It's the best X-Men cover of all-time IMO. Searing drama and action. Everytime I see that cover, Count Nefaria still scares the living bejesus out of me! And the color scheme is awesome - it's instantly recognizable and makes all the other covers look drab by comparison. I'd take it over #133 (Wolverine fighting, big deal), #141 (old Wolverine looking menacing in front of a gimmicky background) or any other of covers from the Byrne run, anyday. sumo.gif

Talk about gift grade!!

What is up with the top right corner & below with the thumb crease!

 

Near Mint books HAVE DEFECTS. That's why they are NM and not MINT. I know because it's a Bronze-Age book that many of us, think if we can see a defect how can it be NM, but if the rest of the book is perfect (and I can't see any spine stress lines at all), then it can still be NM.

an interesting aside...

 

wolverine is missing from 94, 95, 97, 99, 101, 102, 103, 105, 106 & 107. all the above feature at least three other group members. boy, cockrum really didn't care much for the lil' feller now did he?

 

If not for Byrne, Wolvie may very well have been written out of the book... gossip.gif
