X-Men #39 Page 7 - Jean Grey, Beast & Cyclops

Jean Grey and Beast down at the boathouse of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, bringing the reader up to speed on the latest happenings of the team. Early fine pencils by Terry Dodson with expert finishes by Matt Ryan.

This issue was a fun downtime chapter for the X-Men, leading into Legion Quest and then the AoA. Several intersecting storylines in this issue, with Phillip Summers, grandfather of Cyclops reflecting on his WWII flying days, Adam X coming to the rescuing of Phillip, the newlywed life of Scott and Jean, Legion and visions from Destiny, setting the stage for “Legion’s Quest”, and Erik the Red II and Mister Sinister spying on Scott and Jean.

Very happy to pick up another page to one of the first X-Men books I read back in the day.
