DescriptionI've already made it clear how I love Stan Lee's storytelling recipe: the pacing, the humour, the inclusion of mundane scenes and real people as a relief from the action stuff or, as is the case here, as a tension builder in the style of "Why the heck are our heroes having fun while the villain is up to something sinister?"...Prodigal son Roy Thomas, in one of his first solo outings, is faithfully sticking to the formula and it's all the better for it! In the same page, we've got evil, plotting Count Nefaria (Who? Ask Thunderbird...), a nice iconic portrait of the original X-Men (Yay!) leading to a definitely lighter sequence depicting a Greenwich Village that I'm not sure even existed, even at that period... And the Art? What Art? Oh yes, the Art! Well, here we have the inimitable pairing of two rock-solid Silver Age talents, Werner Roth and Dick Ayers: all clear lines and perfectly legible compositions! And it's Large Art, too! Oh boy, how I've drooled over these stories as a kid, leading me to be firmly convinced that Werner Roth would keep doing the strip forever (his was quite a long run, certainly his longest on a Super Hero title) and that he was the ultimate X-Men artist! That is, until I saw what Neal Adams could do with the X-Men, but that's another story... Social/Sharing |

Thanks James! What I love here, as in most of these classic Silver Age comics, is the fact that it all blends so effortlessly into the story, with no time wasted to push it ahead...
