The print quality is superb as well as the storyline and artBy SIR DAX MICHAELSThere was a time in X-men history before the got to be a blue furball, before Wolverine joined up, before Nightcrawler, before Storm and before X- men became a commercial goldmine... AND THIS IS THAT TIME. These stories take us back to a simpler time; the late 1960s when we had no school shootings, no internet, and no AIDS. It was a time of such "good-ol-things" like Vietnam, the Cold war, and leaded gas. Not to mention bell bottom jeans, and $0.12 later $0.15 prices. Journey back to this time with the original X-men and all of their epic tales.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Covers a lot of ground and includes some nice extrasBy Susan D. BuetiI agree with the other reviewers who remark that this volume suffers from some lack of cohesion, as well as the absence - for most of it - of Professor Xavier.But I feel that it also reflects an essential period of development for the X-Men series, in particular because it includes origin stories for Iceman and Beast, and also because it fell under the influence of many different writers and artists. The stories in this volume were penned by four writers and six different artists, an array of creative talent that includes six eventual Eisner Hall of Famers.The fact that there were two stories in each issue means that a lot of ground is covered in this volume. There are a total of 26 stories, including eleven X-Men main features plus secondary stories, an comic, and three extra Angel stories. The inclusion of the secondary stories means the main features are only 15 pages in length, so the action at times feels rushed. However, in most cases (especially the two origin story arcs), the secondary story definitely makes it worthwhile.The volume begins when Professor Xavier has just "died" in X-Men #43, and the team must face their first challenge without him against, of all villains, Magneto. This first arc lasts for four issues (X-Men #43-45, Avengers #53) and was the X-Men's first-ever crossover story with another title. At the conclusion of the arc, the unfortunate choice was made to break up the team and feature only a subset of characters in each issue. Luckily, this lasted only two issues before the start of another 4-part arc (X-Men #49-#52), featuring the introduction of Lorna Dane as (possibly) Magneto's daughter.'s artwork on two of the issues in this arc is visually striking compared to the more traditional efforts of Werner Roth, who penciled most of the stories in this volume, often in partnership with layout artist Don Heck.The backup stories include pages "from the X-Men Family Album", demonstrating the powers of various team members (Cyclops, Iceman, Beast), as well as two multi-part arcs telling the origin stories of Iceman and Beast.Beyond the 12 full issues, extra features include three solo Angel stories penned by Jerry Siegel in 1967 but published later in Ka-Zar #2 and #3 and Marvel Tales #30 from 1970-71. The verbiage on ambiguously suggests that those entire issues are included, but it's only the Angel tales.The book also includes two pages of original art from Steranko and John Tartaglione from X-Men #50 and #51 as well as a page from the never-published (but teased at the end of X-Men #49) story involving Beast and Iceman against Metoxo the Lava Man. There are also three pages that were added to X-Men #45 when it was re-published in Marvel Triple Action #45. The introduction by Roy Thomas provides a lot of insight into the creative process at the time, as Marvel scrambled to support an ever-increasing number of titles.Memorable Quotes:"That'll be the day--like when the Mets win the pennant without assassinatin' the other nine teams!" - Human Torch, guest appearing in the X- Men #47, published in August 1968 (the Mets won the World Series the following year)."Silence, you sniveling sycophant!" - Magneto addressing Toad in X-Men #43, just one of many disdainful remarks to his loyal assistant.

Get ready for a crash course in X-MEN, students! Lesson #1: It ain't easy being a mutant. No sooner has their mentor, Professor X, died than Magneto and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants show up! Only a study in teamwork with the Avengers can help our grieving heroes make the grade. Lesson #2: Think twice before inviting family over. A friendly house call from the Juggernaut or Polaris, daughter of Magneto, isn't an appealing off-campus adventure! Lesson #3: Battling enemies including Mesmero, Blastaar, Red Raven, Warlock and Computo may cause cramps. Be sure to stretch before jumping into this pool! And for extra credit, pull an all-nighter with the origins of Iceman and Beast, and a rare Angel solo story! COLLECTING: X-Men 43-53, Avengers 53, Ka-Zar (1970) 2-3, Marvel Tales 30
