Description
As I build out my X-Men collection, I wanted to add a vintage X-Men piece. Top of my list was old school Prof X, Jean Gray and Cyclops.

This page checked those boxes with a nice addition of some great Angel action as a bonus.

In this story, ProfX discovers Frankenstein is a. real and b. a mutant. They go to get him and discover that he's an android, but he escapes on ground leaving a trail of destruction.

Note: they never call him Angel here, I think this is before he got his superhero name?

Panel 1 - we see the aftermath of the fight with Frank (note the little angel)
Panel 2 - close up on angel - he's trying to find where Frank went
Panel 3 - Angel sees more debris, getting warmer
Panel 4 - Cyclops and Marvel Girl are in a helicopter (Pre X-jet/blackbird!) with ProfX - he gets a message from 'Warren'
Panel 5 - and they are off!
Panel 6 - Angel quickly leads them to the boat and there's some fun team dialog to boot.

Enjoy!

Man I loved that Frankenstein story. I started picking up Uncanny regularly off the spinner racks with issue 193. When I started backfilling the run, issue 40 was my first pre- issue 94 book that I picked up. All for the Franky cover.

I'm alone, yeah, you don't know the mutant wings of flight
Brings the fears, Heck is drawing that Frankenstien for you
Your X-Men love
Let's break your balls, it's genius
Don't make it tough
You've put away McSpider
Enough's enough
I've Tuska'ed and I've seen inked right

X-Men, got the Angel
Come and save art tonight
You're the Angel
Come and post art all night

Great addition, Scot. Don Heck is so emblematic of the Silver Age. I really like seeing your thought process in the selection.

Prime Prof X page! I think if I made a request I'd ask to have him "touching his head doing some sort of mind projection thing". 

Nice bonus Angel in flight as well.
