DescriptionThis particular issue was the finale to the previous issue - and the second appearance of the Juggernaut (aka Cain Marko, Professor X's stepbrother). And it was a doozy of an issue too - in which the X-Men are almost completely defeated but for the help of the Human Torch who helped the Angel rip the Juggernaut's protective helmet away. Indeed, Professor X is in fact reaching out to the Human Torch for help on this particular page.Artwise, I suspect that this was a period in which Kirby was overwhelmed as the Marvel revolution gathered apace. I say this because Kirby did the layouts only for this issue. This was in fact the case commencing from the previous issue. And the inks for the previous issue were by Vince Colletta (which, with respect, did not do real justice to the pencils of the great Alex Toth), and by Joe Sinnott in this issue - followed by Colletta in the next and then Dick Ayers in issue #15 onwards. Indeed, beginning with this issue, I think Werner Roth began his run on the X-Men by way of finished pencils over Kirby layouts. I had always wanted a page from this particular issue because the Sinnott inks made a world of difference. It was also a fondly remembered issue from my childhood. As providence would have it, I was actually on a plane when Albert Moy put this page up for sale on his website. WiFi on planes is not the greatest, even at the best of times, and I don't operate well on a smart phone (which is all I had with me at the time). It was also a very large purchase (for me). However, the price by today's standards seemed reasonable and so I went for it. It is a nice page - not a whole lot of action but it is a cool (no pun intended) page with Juggie breaking out of the ice. As mentioned, the Sinnott inks are really nice as well. It also meant that I had at least a page each in consecutive issues of the X-Men from issue #12 to issue #16 (all of which bring back fond memories indeed). Social/Sharing |

Things get hazy as the Kirby influence was still felt in these issues, but good thing every issue of X-Men he was involved with are still all key issues! Juggernaut, Sentinels, etc. still resonate today and there's no denying Kirby's footprint made him a Top 5 X-Men artist for laying the groundwork for everyone else to stand on his shoulders. Cerebro on the Professor, Jean's and Cyclops not doing much, Iceman looking like a snowman, and Juggernaut's unstoppability all featured here!

Yes, well said as always, Marcus. Kirby's influence was still very much in evidence in all these key issues. However, as mentioned, I think he had been carrying too much of a load at Marvel in those days and it was great that artists such as Werner Roth could take over the pencilling duties and do such a great job.

You are most welcome. At the risk of being accused of being overly nostalgic, it was quite an era - when Marvel comics as we know it was literally being birthed.

Some comic art functions as examples of times when our brains automatically start filling in colors for familiar images. These classic issues are immediately filled with all the blues, and yellows, and browns so easily in my mind's eye. X-tacular!

Love the character of Juggernaut, and this early appearance is quite the gem. Artwise, there is no skimping on any of these six panels. And I really love how panels 2 and 3 are basically the same shot but from different angles. As a kid, I was too young and ignorant to give Roth the proper respect he so rightfully deserved. Thank goodness I wised up. Art and stories like this one are what made me a Marvel fan for life.

Many thanks, Eric. As mentioned, I feel that Sinnott's inks made a lot of difference to the overall appearance of this page. And call it being overly nostalgic, but these classic pages are so very different from the more modern artwork. I still like the latter but, in truth, I like the former even more and would obtain more but for the steep rise in prices. Still, this blast from the past was, for me, too difficult to resist.

Sorry, I actually meant to type panels 3 and 4 (not 2 and 3). That's what you get when you try commenting on something just before going to bed.

Hey, Eric, I assumed that those were the panels anyway! Thanks for taking the trouble to comment on the piece even though you were turning in for the day. Even more greatly appreciated!

I always wondered if Stan and Jack came up with X-Men first and Fantastic Four later, would Jack have ever drawn Fantastic Four past issue #8. Would Dr Doom have ended up an X-Men foe and Magneto just another FF villain ???

Michael, those are very interesting reflections. My own best guess would have been that with Stan's virtually boundless imagination and Jack's seemingly endless ability, we would probably have ended up with more or less the same result - including the Juggernaut! Both Dr Doom and Magneto were tailor-made for each series.

Many thanks, Carlo. And the revelation by Professor X in the previous issue (his purported origin issue) was really memorable as well - although I guess I was put off a little by the Colletta inks in spite of Alex Toth pencilling.

What do you mean, there isn't "a whole lot of action"? The first two panels may indeed just be "talking heads", but there's a lot of drama going on in them. More importantly, the following 4 panels contain nothing BUT action! That means there's action throughout the last two thirds of the page! That's 66.6% of the page, for the mathematically challenged among us. This is absolutely a very strong action page, features 3 of the 5 team members, and it also has Prof X AND Juggernaut! As if that weren't enough, you get Werner Roth (whose work I've always enjoyed on this title) drawing over Kirby's layouts, and some very beautiful inking by Joltin' Joe Sinnott. I think you'd be hard pressed to find MORE positives than that in a Silver Age X-Men page!

Many thanks, Rubén. I was thinking of most of the rest of the book though as I know it so well. But please don't misunderstand - I really like this page as well. As you know, I would never purchase something if I was even lukewarm towards it - although the price must be fair to me. Of course, if a piece is hugely nostalgic, I might go much higher in what I'm prepared to pay.

Many thanks, John. I love early Silver Age Marvel but, because of the extremely high prices nowadays, I can only purchase occasionally.

What outstanding Silver Age X-Men page! You get nice shots of Professor X, Cyclops and Marvel Girl, plus Iceman using his powers, PLUS you get a sample of just how much of a force Juggernaut is. With those last two panels you get a bunch of tension, and then KRAKKKKK! Major congrats!!

Many thanks, Paul. If you look carefully at the scan, you will see "KRRAKKK" in blue pencil - I wonder if Kirby (who was responsible for the layouts) put it there.

A page from one of the two issues introducing the Juggernaut is very special. I think Sinnott inking Roth really works well and not a combination I recall seeing before! Congrats!

Many thanks Ernest. It is a very early issue indeed. As mentioned in the description, Sinnott's inks make all the difference (the previous issue was, unfortunately, inked by Vince Colletta).
