When a young writer named Chris Claremont took over X-Men in 1976, few fans could predict the incredible impact he would have on the Marvel Comics series. With a flair for realistic dialogue, heartfelt storylines and hard-hitting action, Claremont's writing breathed life into the characters. In collaboration with artists Dave Cockrum and John Byrne, Claremont crafted a run still heralded as a definitive era on the book.
Uncanny X-Men became more than just another super-hero title: this diverse cast of mutants fighting against prejudice and intolerance has resonated in the hearts of millions of devoted readers. Now, the first five years of their landmark run on Uncanny X-Men are collected in one oversized volume. This keepsake edition also includes all original letters pages, newly re-mastered colouring and other uncanny extras!
Collects Uncanny X-Men #94 - 131, Annual #3 and Giant Sized X-Men #1. Written by Chris Claremont and Len Wein; artwork from John Byrne and Dave Cockrum, with a cover art by Gil Kane. Even the high page count can't convey the sheer size of this massive, oh-so-collectable tome - when you actually see it and hold it you'll be in fanboy/girl heaven, trust me!
