Uncanny X-men 175 Pg 27 Paul Smith and Bob Wiacek

Huge congrats!  I know how much this means to you!  

A killer page from a killer issue, well done, Jason!

It's a great page from the villain's speech and characterization as well. He almost persuades you to empathize, until you remember he's glossed over the fact that what she did to him was completely his fault.

Hen's Tooth - these are so tough and 175 quite memorable, congrats!

This is what it's all about, Unstoppable aka Old Man Jason !!

Beautiful, sleek linework from a master artist in Paul Smith and classic inker Bob Wiacek. 

Very happy for you on this glorious new pick-up. Congrats! 

Major congrats my friend!!!

This page is absolutely epic, so great and huge congrats on a grail piece such as this.  What a way to start reading the X-Men world, must have been intense for a young mind to get right into the thick of it for X drama. , so many great things to get hooked on.  Absolutely UNCANNY!  

A stunner!

A great Dark Phoenix page from the special double sized Paul Smith farewell issue!  It points back at those fateful Issues when Dark Phoenix  was born out of Mastermind's manipulation.

great page!

Cool page!

Just... fabulous!!

Very happy for you! Congrats!

(love that 4th panel!)

Exquisite and rare.  PMS's art on Uncanny was balanced and classy, with impeccable storytelling and characterisation.  This is a great example. Well done!

ConGrailtulations Jason. Getting a page from THE issue (whatever it may be for each person) is an ultimate achievement in this hobby. So happy to hear that one of these has landed in your colleXtion my friend! This page has landed and will be well admired for a very ling time, I'm sure. Congrats!!!

Very nostalgic for me, too. Congratulation on both tracking down a page & managing to buy it!

I <expletive> LOVE this <expletive> page! You lucky <expletive> <expletive> <expletive> guy! Great story and great <expletive> community! Not to mention Paul Smith's <expletive> beautifully delicate touch - these characters are full of <expletive> life! Congrats!

Paul Smith X-Men page is always a treasure and this one is a superb example with the Phoenix 'one with the cosmos' image!

Beautiful page! Beautiful story! Your collection keeps leveling up again and again. Slow down, buddy! Stay in your lane, bro! 

great to see your thirst quenched. This is really a great page for sure, it reminds you of why you wish Smith had a longer run on the series.

Jaw dropper. Congrats. 

Paul Smith in his prime made the Xmen a must read every month. Congrats on a great page from an exciting X run.

Congrats Jason! Awesome to see you track down a page from one of your first comic books. Reinforces why this is such a great hobby.

Paul Smith is so good.  Wish his run was longer

You took on the cabal and got you a page!!  Congrats...and nice knowing you!

Congrats! Paul Smith was the guy who got me hooked on X-Men as well. So beautiful. 

great art and even greater meaning to who you are as a person/collector at the core...can't think of a better kind of pickup, congrats on a grail Jason!

Hells YES, Jason!  HUGE congrats, man!  A page from the book that started the X addiction - can't get much better.  You gotta love the line work throughout, and that 4th panel is next level.  Love the inks.  I'm sure you'll be poring over for weeks and weeks!

Congrats on achieving this grail. Nice to read why it's so meaningful. 

Hi JL! I appreciate the comment... I have been drooling over your splash from the book since the day I started my CAF account.. I think that was the first piece I searched for! A mutual friend told me you may have more pages from this book.. I would LOVE to see them if you ever feel like posting them. Thanks

Congrats on acquiring your grail piece!  Great PMS page, and that fourth panel is just lovely.

Paul had such a great run!! Great page! 

When the highest levels of nostalgia meet up with cool art, you certainly have got yourself a grail. I wish every collector could get a page from the first book that they read. And what a sweet page! I especially like that fourth panel. Very dynamic. Big, nostalgic congrats!

Congrats! It must be a very satisfying feeling obtaining a grail piece that has such reverence. Collecting these sorts of pages is why I love this hobby.

SUPER! BRILLIANT! CLASSIC!

Jason this page is incredible. Congrats on this achievement! Paul Smith's run on X-Men was legendary. 

COngrats!!!!!!!!!
The best issue from the PMS uncanny run!!!!!!!!!

Great issue!

Cheers on getting a page from such a meaningful issue. Smith's art is so elegant and fluid, even on a dialogue-heavy page like this. In fact, Smith, who drew such wonderfully expressive faces, may have been the best X-Men artist when it came to giving visual appeal to Claremont's more exposition-heavy pages.
