I would not sell my collection, for if I did I would cry (Part 52)...

Today In The History Of Polt's Comic Book Collection

Today we go back 40 years to May 1980 and the Uncanny X-men #133!


This is in the middle of THE highest point, the best storyline of the X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga.  This is when writer Chris Claremont, astist John Byrne and inker Terry Austin were on POINT with their craft.

In this issue, Wolverine takes on a whole batch of Hellfire Club agents in the sewers below and basement of the Hellfire Club itself.  While inside the club, Jason Wyngarde aka Mastermind, uses his illusions to turn Jean Grey into the Black Queen. 

It truly was masterful storytelling.  At it's best.
