Back...Thanks,love the logo & corner posts too!<br /><br />Back in the 80s(before the days of Masterworks & DVD-ROM),the best way to read early X-men stories were the 70s reprint issues. I remember buying this back issue:<br /><br />http://www.comics.org/issue/24436/cover/4/?style=default<br /><br />Look at the corner box in the link. The issue reprints 'X-men #20',when they still wore the "school uniform" costumes. The corner box is taken from the issues where they wore their own individual costumes. They just re-colored them so they'd look like the school uniforms?. How cheap can you get? Shows you how much Marvel cared about the X-men back then. <br /><br />I guess this was just another comic to fill space on the racks to fight the competition,like many of the other early 70s reprint titles.J.A.

I found it interesting that the classic, Bronze-era logo kept getting "squattier" as time went on.<br /><br />Keep these coming!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Andrew<br />ComicsBronzeAge.comAndrew Wahlhttp://ComicsBronzeAge.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-43895621843067520442010-09-29T10:47:22.811-05:002010-09-29T10:47:22.811-05:00Yep, Groove -- you nailed it.

In my opinion, Storm is the only headshot that is undeniably Cockrum; Nightcrawler is especially a departure from the caricature we saw when the All-New book began.<br /><br />Thanks for the correction -- that's appreciated!!<br /><br />DougDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04248324005584963229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-18560287430835758112010-09-29T10:00:14.433-05:002010-09-29T10:00:14.433-05:00Great article.
