No, just saying that Grampa remembers buying that particular issue when it first hit the newsstand. Sorry for the confusion, amigo.

 

BTW....it was really exciting when all of a sudden, Neal Adams started doing X-Men. Good grief. It went from a have-to-buy-cause-I-buy-the-whole-lineup to a must-buy-because-that-art-is-phenomenal.

 

Going from Steranko covers - back down to Barry Smith - and back up to Adams was like riding a roller coaster.

I have fallen heads over heals in love with these books. Love the covers, love the logos. In a perfect world, I'd be able to collect them all.

I bought 'em off the stands up to #66 too, Methuselah.

 

I wasn't sure what to make of Adam's lanky, serpentine figures. I preferred Steranko's pop-art innovations at the time. Now I can appreciate them both, especially since Steranko didn't stay in the game for the long term.
