Item Description

Just 4 years in from the Marvel-quake generated by the return of THE X-MEN with writer Chris Claremont, comes this key issue less than two years in from when John Byrne took over the artistic reins! The two of them together - aided by inker Terry Austin - set Marveldom on its ear with their creative efforts which are often considered igniting a "golden age" for the title and one of the most legendary collaborations in comic book history!

Issue #125 brings the return of Jean Grey/Phoenix, undergoing tests of her incredible powers by Moira MacTaggert on Muir Island in Scotland. Jean thinks that the other X-Men are dead, and they all think SHE is dead, and the same goes for the Beast . . . but in actuality they are all alive and exerting themselves in the Danger Room!

There's a lot of soul-searching, anger, regret and hopefulness - a range of emotions on display that made Claremont's 16-year run on X-Men the utmost fan-favorite of its time! (And it is disclosed in this issue for the first time that Quicksilver and Wanda are really MAGNETO's children!!)

This is an extraordinarily fresh and pristine copy with no faults or blemishes that we can see! An obvious 9.0 VF/NM for a 42-year old comic! Overstreet suggests a price of $60.00. We're going to make this early key issue a bit more affordable for you X-MEN fans at just $48 . . with our always-L•O•W shipping!
