Xmen issue question 0

[scarlet_speedster]

Hey I'm looking for an X-Men issue it would have from 1993 to 2003 I guess it was an issue that had pictures of covers of silver age X-Men books and little bit of the stories too. I guess it was an anniversary issue but I can't remember the # any help would be great. Not looking to buy it I just can't remember what issue it is

Nope it was a much newer issue than that. That' one is like Oct 1980.

Do you have any more info than that?

Was it The Official Marvel Index to the X-Men (1994) #1? It fits your description other than the anniversary issue detail.

U know the date sounds about right I'll look into that.

This one?

No the issue would have been newsstand got it from my local grocery store at the time. They probably would have stuck with mainline x books

Not that one. I meant this earlier series: The Official Marvel Index to the X-Men (1994) If not #1 then #2. It was available for purchase at newsstands.

If it's not The Official Marvel Index to the X-Men, this is the closest thing I can think of, but it still doesn't quite match the question.

here are a couple books from 1991 series:

If this helps you guys help me any at all maybe perhaps it was some kind of anniversary issue. I was 13 to 15 so it's been a while since then

It sounds to me like it could have been this one? Marvel Saga was a series that retold the history of the Marvel Universe through "little bit of the stories too" - basically, excerpted highlights reprinted from the original books. Marvel Saga #4 was the first one to focus on the X-Men, though they were prominent after that.

It ran for 25 issues in the late 1980s, so a little earlier than your suggested timeline.

Hmmm... not sure why those lines have strikethrough, but I can't change it... hopefully, it's still legible.
