DescriptionX-Men #9 was brought to the market by Mike Burkey in the early 2000s and this was around the time I started collecting original art. This page was quickly snapped up and the image lingered on his site for what seemed like forever.I didn't buy any other page from the book because none of them could compare to the beautiful images of Jean displayed on this page. Around 15 years later the page just appeared on Bechara's website and this time I was lucky enough to seal the deal. Big thanks go out to Bechara for being a good friend and for assisting me in making this exquisite page part of my permanent collection. Social/Sharing |

Bechara has a way of coming up with desirable pages. Every panel, every character lovingly penciled by the king and beautifully finished by a true legend Chic Stone. This is the top shelf gallery add.

And they say Kirby is not a top 5 X-Men artist? Those people should be ashamed! This has compelling unrequited love and most of the X-Men displaying their powers without you even realizing it because you're caught up in the storytelling.

It's simply incomprehensible that the King can be overlooked on any title he worked on. For the most part, he would create 95% of the characters, the core interpersonal relationships, origins, and visual style for everyone to follow. Most of the artists who work on these titles stand in awe at the sheer magnitude of his creative genius. The mere handful of pages that Kirby illustrated outlining the relationship between Scott and Jean created the epicenter of this title for decades to come.

Lovely "character" page with X-powers on full display! Also great Stone inking.

Boy, just seeing this page gives me a thrill! This era of Kirby inked by Stone was pure joy. His layouts on what could be a faily mundane page elevates this to iconic status

I personally think Stone was Kirby's best inker in the X-Men and Avengers run. A lesser inker could lose all the magic that Stone extracted from Kirby's pencils on this page. Thanks very much for your appreciative comment.
