Cool cover with Mystique taking out a Graydon Creed presidential poster. Jeff's X-Factor work can be hard to find, so happy to have a cover example!

Thanks, Troy!

Very cool Mystique cover with a play on the political poster design. Nice to see this rare Matsuda 90s X-Factor cover art appear in your collection. Thibert inking is always nice to see as well. congrats!

Very memorable cover.  Matsuda's art burns a hole in your mind and stays there.  It was this, his impulse art, and Awesome Comics with KaBoom! before he left for animation.

You found a great Mystique cover, man! Wow, such a cool design and rendering. Some might say explosive!

You are so welcome.  It always helps when the buyer is so good as you!  Also know another artist did a similar pose on another cover and gave the credit to Jeff on the cover.  If I find which cover that is I will be sure to let you know.

I was just on CAF to check if anybody bought this. You got another one that I couldnt chase. I remember seeing the cover in the stands. The colorist did a great job

Thanks James.  The Mystique is the original.  The Venom was the homage to the X-factor cover.

I remember when this comic came out, I said the same thing... "Cool cover".  Seeing it again so many years later, I thought.. "Cool cover".  Congrats James.
