Description
This is a great vintage page from just the 2nd X-Men story. The first appearance of the vansisher with great side notes by Stan Lee and erased pencils of Kirby's often used "eyes close-up" in the last panel that was changed in editing.
What's cool about this page is that it has plot/dialogue suggestions by Stan Lee. Most of the early Kirby pages I've seen have Jack's pencilled notes. This X-Men 2 story is apparently from a time where Stan and Jack were meeting in person and Stan offered his plot suggestions in the margins. A true piece of Marvel history!
