MARVEL MASTERWORKS UNCANNY X-MEN Volume 1

The Children of the Atom are reborn after a long hiatus, with Giant Size X-Men the milestone reappearance! With the original X-Men held hostage by unknown forces, Professor X recruits an international cast including Wolverine, Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Banshee, Sunfire and Warpath to take on the mantle! Marked by progressive politics and personal conflicts, these All-New, All-Different X-Men redefined super-hero teams -- period and became the hands  down bestselling Marvel series of the 1970s. In these pages, for the first time, you’ll see Wolverine throw down with Cyclops, experience the shocking death of an X-Man, watch as the new team attempts to tear apart the old, and bear witness to the sacrifice of Jean Grey! With an all-new restoration and an expansive section of rarities, character designs, original art and more, this is the last word on the mutant milestones that set the table for a comics revolution. Until this time, Spider-Man and The Fantastic Four were the top Marvels; all that changed with Dave Cockrum and Chris Claremont bringing back The X-Men. Powerful new humanistic stories and superb characterization rocketed this title to quickly become the best selling comic ever for many years. It all begins with these issues. - Bud
