DescriptionSo it's been a while since I have added a new piece to this gallery. I have been a massive Jae Lee fan since first discovering his work on Namor and later being blown away by his creator owned series Hellshock. His use of lights and darks and bold inking style really stayed with me.I was really excited when this cover came up. While I used to own a nice Wildcats splash, it is long gone and so this piece really fills that void for a Jae Lee piece. While I really like the way he drew Storm here (with the fantastic 80s mohawk) I was especially interested in this piece for featuring the Blob. Yeah - he is not a big name villain, but as a kid I always loved this character. And so even though I don't remember this particular comic as a child, the mix of characters and style really hit the nostalgia funny bone for me. Classic Xmen is a reprint series, and the story in this issue comes from UXM #206. See the original cover in the additional images. Finally a quick shout out to my friend JS, without whom this piece would not have been possible.😁 As always - thank you so much for checking out my gallery! Social/Sharing |

This is what happens when the X-Men finally crawl out of that hole. Took so long, (9 years) you wouldn't know there was mountain on top of them.

fantaastic addition, I think this is one of the better covers of the later run Classic X-men/X-Men Classic had such a top notch list of artists on the covers this is one of the lesser known gems for sure

This is peak period for Jae, IMO. Still has the more dialed in look of Inhumans. Nice cover!

Jae 90s goodness, on a cover no less! Didn't know he did this.

One of the finest examples of Jae's work that I've seen. Can't take my eyes off Storm in this one.

If there's a better Jae Lee example I certainly haven't seen it. Congrats!

Gotta love an all-out mutant battle royale. Jae Lee did a beautiful job with this one.

X-Men were superhot having reprints already of a book not even 10 years old. This cover stands on it's own with Jae Lee's hot style reimagining it for a full on battle cover and adding the all important sex appeal with Storm.

Killer mid 90's Jae Lee example from this title! Oh, and The Blob IS a big name villain. If you know who the X-Men are, the chances are very good that you will know who The Blob is, and he's always been AWESOME!

Such a great cover and end to a fun series that reprinted lots of great issues but also had some of it's own original material. Congrats!

I didn't know about this cover, but a very nice one by Jae Lee! You can clearly see here the transition from his early style like on X-Factor to his work on Inhumans and Sentry!

I think that Classic X-men is one of those series whose covers offer the best artistic talents of their time and you got a striking Jae Lee one.

Wondered where this awesome piece ended up! It was so much fun to see iconic X-Men stories reinterpreted on the covers of Classic X-Men; and while the earlier issues tend to get the most attention, this is one of the best I've seen from late in the run. Jae Lee's Storm looks kick-ass! And love the crammed-in composition of the piece. Congrats!

This is rad, man, as you can see Jae's moving toward the style he has now. All here in this cover, but still with that '90s house aesthetic mixed in. Love that combo. And particularly Storm here :) Congrats!

It was rare for me to stay with a series after Byrne stopped drawing it, but Jae Lee on Namor was that good, as yer cover shows, congrats!!

It was not obvious to walk in the footsteps of Art Adams, Steve Lightle or Adam Hughes as a cover artist to the series, but Jae was up to the challenge, great piece !
