DescriptionI remember trading for this issue with another kid at school. He didn’t tell me that he’d cut the marvel stamp out at the end but I still treasured this issue. I had never heard of Firelord before reading this one,but I knew enough that if he was a herald of Galactus, he had to be tough!Social/Sharing |

I have fond memories of this DPS, as X-Men 105 was the second issue of X-Men that I ever read back 1977. (The first was 104.) It was one of the comics in a Marvel Multi-Mags 3-pack. Like with you, this was my introduction to Firelord. I love the layout of the pages and the awesome Cockrum art.

I was there with you. I had bought #101 off the spinner rack and then found #100 and #104 in those same 3 pack value packs. This was my 4th issue of X-Men. It was hard to string together consecutive issues back in the day.

I also love how he did the smaller panels up top leaving space for the large Firelord image across both pages.

Spectacular! You keep adding stunners...
And I hadn't even realized Bob inked this issue (it's been a while since I've read this one).

I think Gene Park has that one sewn up.

What a spread! The New X-Men in action and Firelord looking more powerful and intimidating than anyone they've faced so far!

I bought this comic off the back wall back in the 1980s - Firelord is such a well-designed herald - congrats on this killer DPS! The X-Men DPS vote is going to be fun to see this year...

Love the layout on this one! I really like the little insert at the top with Firelord closeup. Nice touch!

Thanks for posting a large scan. It's awesome to see all of the great detail and Layton's inks really work well over Dave's pencils! Congrats again on the amazing pickup!

Didn't realize Firelord started this early. Very cool!

Beauty! This fight was Claremont's sneaky way of showing that Phoenix had cosmic-level power. The editors would not let her trade blows with Silver Surfer, but they okayed a battle with Firlord, who did fight the Surfer as an equal. By the transit property of combat, Phoenix was therefore the equal of Norrin Radd.

That is some great trivia that I did not know. Thanks for sharing that.

Classic Marvel action. The DPS layout has a pleasing symmetry, with the upper tier panels echoing the shape of the leaping figure of Firelord. It is packed with characters, and it's great to see Eric the Red in there. Great DPS!
