Neal Adams — X-Men, Forever

The X-Men #61, October 1969

We can’t let 2023 fade into the memory books without at least some tribute to the 60th Anniversary of the X-Men.

Neal Adams drew nine issues of the X-Men. John Byrne drew four times as many. I love John Byrne art, but the prices of his pages are — how do we say? — a bit out of whack when compared to the scarcity of Adams.

Oh, and this is a great one from his run, with superb inks by the legendary Tom Palmer. (Despite the disappointing quality of the scan.)
