Description

1963...X-Men 1...Professor X tells the team that they have a new member arriving, a "most attractive young lady." Cyclops looks out the window and says "You're right, Sir. Wow. A real living doll."

The poor guy had no idea what was in store for him.

1976...X-Men 100...Cyclops is held back as Jean Grey dies. The last word to leave her mouth as the radiation hits? "SCOTT!!"

And with that, we say goodbye to Jean, and a couple pages later in X-Men 101 we're introduced to Phoenix, who declares right away that she is "no longer the woman you knew."

What an ending. What a way to close out the 100th issue. And what a lucky guy I am to have this page in my collection. A real piece of Marvel history. It doesn't matter if you're an old comic reader or a new one, everyone knows the story of Jean getting blasted by radiation and turning into Phoenix. And here it is!

Thank you so much, Carlo. You are a pleasure to deal with and a real class act! Your collection is legendary but your character is even greater.

I haven't posted much lately and I have a backlog of pieces. But I felt that this page should be up and enjoyed by all.
