DescriptionI've had a 'great Cockrum' page on my UXM wish-list for several years now -either from his first run or second run, but couldn't find anything. I think it's because I really wanted a fight scene with Nightcrawler (ideally with a teleportation) and Wolverine (claws out) with Colossus and rest of team as a 'nice to have'.For those of you with more X-perience than I have, you know these pages have become both exceedingly rare and increasingly $$$. Thanks to CAF Live, this page surfaced and I jumped on the opp to pull it into the McSpidey Vault. In this 7 panel panel-page, we jump right into the action (and story telling!). The X-Men are in Antartica exploring the ruins of Magneto's base when they are attacked by Garokk who they thought was dead, but turns out he was rescued by Magneto. Panel 1 - Garokk fires an eye disintegrator beam at Nightcrawler Panel 2 - Nightcrawler dodges and gets G talking, but also thinks - yikes those are intense eye beams. Panel 3 - BAMF. He teleports away. Panel 4 - He teleports onto Garokk's back where G can't see N Panel 5 - Garokk grabs Nightcrawler and flings him away in shock, but we see behind Garokk, another X-peep sneaking up. Panel 6 - Wolvie slices into Garokk's back with both claws: "Bub, if eternal peace is what you crave-- I'll be more'n happy to oblige you!" Panel 7 - Uh-oh, Wolverins's claws cause zero damage and he talks a bull on punch from Garokk. The UXM run from (GSXM1/94-200) is key nostalgia for my early love of comics second only to the ASM run in the similar time-frame. What an amazing time to be a comic fan - which do I read first!? Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy the page and this walk down memory lane with me! -McSpidey Fan Social/Sharing |

There is nothing as satisfying as a Cockrum Nightcrawer page. Too bad that guy in the bottom two panels ruins it.

Dave Cockrum drew the Wolvie man
You have the bamf Nightcrawler art
The throw down in X-Men page
Has been shakin' from the top
The leap that drives the maniac
He went accursed claws for kill
Joe Rubinstein was a-showin'
Inking illustrator skill (ow!)
Magneto don't like it
Garokk the Crawler
Night the Crawler
Magneto don't like it

Great BAMF page! The way panels 3 and 4 lead to panel 5 with Nightcrawler whipping through the and then Wolverine appearing from behind in panel 6 guides the reader through the page perfectly.

This is around the time I started reading comic books and trying to find as much X-Men material to read as possible. I was crazed, as a kid, with the idea that there were older adventures I didn't know about. Pure nostalgia for me. Well done!

I agree, it feels like, largely, this doesn't exist where you find this thing (e.g. x-men) and are like, WOW, I love that and then you can drill in both forwards and backwards.
Maybe it's a factor of age, but still my kids don't really have that experience.
