X-Men #153 1982

Notes
Although the characters from Kitty's story are presented as fictitious, they do in fact exist in their own alien dimension as revealed in Nightcrawler #3 and Nightcrawler #4. It is probable that Kitty's telling/creating the story caused the dimension to exist.
Trivia
With this issue, the cover price rises to 60 cents.
Illyana is seen holding onto a Fozzie Bear stuffed toy. Fozzie Bear is a character voiced by Frank Oz featured on the Jim Henson variety program, The Muppet Show.
In this issue, Pirate Kitty has a pet dragon named Lockheed. This character is intended as a living representation of the X-Men's SR-71 Blackbird. The Earth-616 Kitty, however, is fated to meet a real dragon, which she names Lockheed in Uncanny X-Men #166.
On the cover of this issue, Kitty is seen saying, "And now for something completely different!" This was the popular lead-in catchphrase frequently heard on the BBC comedy program Monty Python's Flying Circus.
Kitty is seen wearing an Elfquest t-shirt in this issue. Elfquest was a comic book franchise created by Richard and Wendy Pini. Originally published by Warp Graphics, it was also licensed to Marvel Comics and published under their Epic imprint.

Trivia
Letterer error: During the dogfight, the letterer wrote "sequential" instead of "inconsequential" in one of the scene-explanatory text boxes and calls the Sidri the "Sindri" in the same panel. The Sidri are then called the "Sindri" throughout the rest of the issue.
