This was the first #XMen issue I ever bought in 1989. What was yours?
Doc Savage, also known as Clark Savage Jr., made his debut in The Man of Bronze in 1933. He was often described with superhuman attributes, such as super strength and super intelligence. He also had a retreat known as the Fortress of Solitude in the Arctic. In a 1934 pulp…
An important message about #racism wrapped in a superhero tale from Green Lama 5, 1945. A soldier sees that prejudice aligns with the Nazis, rather than the American values he fights for. Through this message, the soldier embraces equality and promotes tolerance & unity with his…
In 1984, Bill Sienkiewicz began a remarkable tenure on the #NewMutants series, bringing a groundbreaking approach to the medium. He adeptly fused abstract emotional expression with tangible narratives, creating a stunning visual experience both on the covers and the pages within.
Love and Rockets, Volume 2, 1982 by the Hernandez bros is a genre-defying blend, weaving classic Americana akin to Archie Comics, with speculative sci-fi vignettes, and vibrant slices of Mexican culture. Its pages offer an alternative to the mainstream superhero comic books that…
In the early 70s, #Marvel, along with Stan Lee and others, targeted the post-code horror magazine market, previously dominated by Jim Warren since 1957. Vampire Tales, launched in 1973, featured a recurring story about Michael Morbius with artwork by Pablos Marcos and script by…
Opening splash for #Marvel Two in One 60, 1980, penciled by George Perez and inked by Gene Day. Later in 1980, Perez transitioned to DC Comics to work on the New Teen Titans, marking another chapter in his illustrious career. Gene Day tragically passed away at the age of 31 from…
There have always been interesting visual connections between the Flash Gordon comic strips of the 1930s and the #StarWars films of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Noticeable here are the similarities in the design of the environmental troopers, the use of gas masks on…
David Michelinie mentioned in an interview that the 1988 origin story of #Venom, involving Eddie Brock and Sin-Eater, was inspired by the sensationalist journalist Jimmy Breslin and the Son of Sam serial killer, focusing on their interaction in 1977. During that period, Son of…
Alter Ego #188 (2024) launches a series showcasing remarkable interviews with #Marvel's Golden and Silver Age creators by David Armstrong, my fellow CBH moderator and a historian of Golden Age comics. I was honored to digitize, remaster, and transcribe these insightful…
In 1971, Doc Samson's costume design, crafted by Roy Thomas and Herb Trimpe for #marvel, drew inspiration from Captain Tootsie, a character created by C.C. Beck in the 1950s. Roy Thomas has expressed his fondness for Captain Tootsie, a figure from his childhood and hero of a…

Imagine being a child on that film set, where Christopher Reeve’s #Superman wasn’t just a character but a comforting presence, whose every graceful and assured move seemed to be for you. In his eyes, you weren’t just another face in the crowd; you were the one he’d fly across…
In 1968, the ambitious Spectacular #SpiderMan magazine launched with a duo of issues—first in stark black and white, then in vivid color, crafted by the renowned John Romita Sr., Stan Lee, and Jim Mooney. Despite the heavyweight creative team, sales were lackluster. The series’…
In Quality Comics' Military Comics #1 from 1941, we see the first appearance of Blackhawk, created by Will Eisner and illustrated by Chuck Cuidera. Unlike the scene between #HanSolo and Greedo, where differing versions show who shot first, there is no ambiguity here: Blackhawk…
In 1974, the #Watergate scandal intensified public disillusionment amidst rising inflation & crime rates. This skepticism birthed anti-heroes such as Gerry Conway's #Punisher & Len Wein's #Wolverine, reflecting societal mood thru comics. John Romita Sr., #Marvel's art director at…

@Comichistorians Classic X-Men #33 was my first X-Men comic too! The back cover is really weird and freaky!
@Comichistorians I was a huge Spidey collector at the time.
@Comichistorians Was 1986 for me the first time I bought this X-Men book and it was the first time I was in a comicbook shop
@Comichistorians This was my first X book I ever owned! Loved that team!!! #UncannyXMen #XMen
I won't pretend that I don't find it 'mildly satisfying' to see Cyclops take a swing against Wolverine. (Team Cyclops.)
This was the first #XMen issue I ever bought in 1989. What was yours?
What was the first #xmen comic you bought? It came out in 1966, but I found it at a flea market in 1970. It not only became my first issue of X-Men, it also became the oldest comic in my limited collection at that time (I started saving them in early 1967)! And I still have it!
Artists drawing superhero team books need to study Neal Adams' work. No one--and I do mean no one-- consistently composed a group shot/all talk panel as dynamically and 'fully' as Adams did. He created this kind of depth and overlap frequently:
This is actually the first X-Men comic I ever bought. What was yours?
'Inspiration.' 🔥
Doc Savage, also known as Clark Savage Jr., made his debut in The Man of Bronze in 1933. He was often described with superhuman attributes, such as super strength and super intelligence. He also had a retreat known as the Fortress of Solitude in the Arctic. In a 1934 pulp…
@Comichistorians I absolutely love reading about pulp history that inspired Superman. I believe Doc also may have been called the Man of Steel once or twice before being the Man of Bronze.
@Comichistorians Classic X-Men had so many great original covers. Sometimes I wish Marvel would do a big art book just collecting those.
