![]() ![]() Please make sure to check out my other auctions. This hard to find Item does not come up for auction that often so make sure you get this One. This Item is hard to photo so trust in my feedback that this is the Real Deal. It is just awesome! Please read the about me to get to know me better. Item is much nicer than the pictures above. Anybody remember their first issue? It sure created a monster out of me (my comics drive my wife nuts – but 15 long boxes will do that).Please email with any questions or for additional pictures. The alternate story of Inferno showed me my first X-Men and a friend also had #275 for me to read. Incidentally, this wasn’t my first experience with the X-Men. 20 years later, I’m still working, but now the issues are a tad on the expensive side. Still, just from this issue, I immediately reached out to get #275 (a double sized issue with the entire team, the Starjammers, and the Imperial Guard – a gem of an issue) and collected the entire story. It wasn’t until X-Force #1 that I started collecting them regularly. I also didn’t know anything about having a subscription at these stores (plus one of them didn’t even offer that stuff) so I would miss a lot of issues. So once every three weeks I got to check out the comics. My only chance was when it was my turn to pick where we went for dinner. I also remember going to two different places for comics. I knew a few of them because a friend was reading comics. When I first picked up this issue, I had very little experience with X-Men. He greets his X-men (remember, he hasn’t seen any of them for 77 issues) and at Banshee’s urging, he scans Storm’s thoughts to find that the Shadow King is wrecking havoc back home. real-Xavier pounds faux-Xavier into unconsciousness, ending the fight. However, amazingly his powers stop working and we see the real Professor X standing behind him. Eventually the faux-Professor X drops everyone with his mental powers. The X-Men step out, tossing out the faux-Starjammers.Ī battle ensues (with Gambit throwing an entire deck of cards into Gladiator). Before they can finish off Deathbird, the Starjammer vessel crashes through the window. Wolverine and Jubilee show up and attack Deathbird while Lila teleports out of there. I’m going to stop pointing out who I didn’t know because that will probably double the length of this blog. The X-Men prevail and begin to enter the atmosphere of the planet.ĭown on the planet, Lila Cheney (again…no clue who she was) and Deathbird (ditto) face off against Professor Xavier, Gladiator, and Psylocke. Now, I had no idea what Skrulls were, so I just figured this was Hepzibah’s “power” (like most teenagers, I was an idiot). Hepzibah, in an effort to take down Gambit, turns into something big and green. Turns out, the Starjammers aren’t who they say they are. They manage to get inside where they, along with Gambit, face off against the Starjammers (who I totally thought were enemies at the time). The X-Men in space (Storm, Forge, and Banshee) are chasing the Starjammer vessel. Plus, I didn’t necessarily get to the comic shop every month, so finding out the events leading up to this story would take a bit of time. Jim Lee’s issues were incredibly rare at the comic shops I would frequent. I also remember everything around this time being a pain in the ass to get hold of. It created a monster that was still going strong 23 years later. But this issue caught hold of me and didn’t let me go. ![]() ![]() I didn’t even realize that their costumes weren’t normally blue and yellow. Now keep in mind, that I knew absolutely nothing about these characters. ![]() I already had What If…? #6 and New Mutants #98 by this point, but I was still fairly new to comics. It wasn’t my first comic book with X-Men characters. This was my very first issue of Uncanny X-Men. ![]()
