Classic. Impactful. Museum Worthy. Nuff Said.
Impressive and Uncanny!
The mega addition of the year for CAF?
@Bill Cox,
Just give this guy the best of trophy for covers right now!
Unless Amir wants to enter it into the "other" catagory to give us a chance??
An absolute beast! Congrats!!
Jim Lee doing Jim Lee things.
Doesnt get any better! The perfect cover. Love Black Widow in particular on here. Huge Congrats!!!
What's there to say? You have one of the most visually recognizable pieces ever created in this medium. Pure history! Congrats, Amir!
I've lost track of how many homages of this image I've seen over the years, to actually see the original art board up here on CAF is a real treat. Thanks for sharing another gem from your museum worthy collection!
A legendary piece of comic history > Congrats Amir!
Even if you were not reading the X-men when this came out, this cover made you pick it up and buy it! Congrats on an amazing piece!
Iconic and beautiful!
STUNNING
Big time!
Just.... Wow! 👏
Definitely an iconic, memorable, and often homaged cover! Major congrats to adding this epic cover!
man, i remember getting this comic stolen from me in middleschool.
classic cover indeed!!
congrats!
Congratulations! Stunning!
My absolute favorite Jim Lee cover!! Congrats on this grail.
Congrats on picking up this legendary cover. Hands down one of Jim's top 10 covers of all time!
An iconic piece of history, so glad to see on here, congrats and cheers and snikt!!!!
Wow! This cover is iconic! Congrats!
Without a doubt, THE COVER. Not just a great cover, no. We’re talking about THE COVER. It’s March, and this is clearly the best cover that will be uploaded to CAF all year.
Woah! That's a showstopper right there! Congrats.
Perfection...
Absolute dream piece
One of the best of the best indeed - homages many times but the original is so iconic - congratulations on this one
Well that's a stunner. I gues we all know what will win the best cover for CAF this year. Congrats.
Marvel pyramidal composition at its finest. They don't make em like they used to.
Congrats on grabbing a favorite!
Epic.
Mind.. Blown! Congrats Amir!
Apparently the original owner got this when he was a kid at SDCC...thanks to a loan from his dad! Let's give it up for dads!! And congrats!!
Memorable! To the excellence of the art, we must add the creativity of this stellar duo who in 90's visually reinvented Marvel's BEST franchise once again. All superlative adjectives are admitted. Hats off on this one Amir.
Iconic. Congrats!
What an iconic cover. Congrats Amir
I'm thinking selling this for $650 back in 1991 was a mistake? Nice cover. Nice memories.
Thanks, Scott. Incredible memories for me — and based on the reactions to this post, clearly for an entire generation of fans as well. Thanks for creating such a masterpiece.
A piece of comic history. UXM 268 was the pinnacle of the run.
Truly special!
Graily! Everyone knows it's one of his best that came out at a moment in time when the potential has been achieved and this is the new standard for X-Men.
Wow
Fantastic! Congrats!!
Like you point out, it’s pretty much an academic composition and yet it is so powerful and works so well, apart from any nostalgic factor.
Many associates Jim Lee with Batman (right now) but I’ll take his X-men work over that any day of the week.
Congrats
Amazing and memorable cover by an artistic team that ushered in a new era of comics and comic art.
The greatest!
So incredible Amir, a truly magnificent X-Men cover. We're all speechless!
I've always said that this is the best cover and issue of the Lee/Williams run on Uncanny - congrats!!
The only Jim Lee cover worth having. Even though I do not like his stiff artwork this is the best thing he ever did.
Well done.
Exemplary example.
Nice pickup!!
Thank you for taking the time and effort to craft a description worthy of this iconic piece of comic art. Congratulations to you on both.
Definitely an iconic cover, and probably Jim's best cover also. Congrats!
Amazing. Congrats Amir. What a cover.
Congrats! Iconic cover!
Respect!
So awesome to see this shared on CAF - just an iconic cover.
Congratulations Amir on acquiring a grail piece! She's a real beauty!
It kind of speaks for itself, doesn't it?
It doesn't age, only gets better in time! Plus, I had not seen a Captain America of this stature since Neal Adams' take on the Avengers in the early 70's...
This is a truly iconic cover. Many thanks for sharing and many congrats!
Seeing this was like literally going back in time. And then a hush fell, akin to being in a museum. Wow. Congrats, amazing, an all-time great.
My single favorite issue by Jim! Congrats!
Wow I recall this cover being lost for a long time. Amazing acquisition!
as iconic as you can get !
Crazy Cool Cover!! Congrats!
An unforgettable piece for me personally: beyond its artistic quality, what really stands out is the incredible creativity of this exceptional duo, who in the 1990s managed to visually redefine one of Marvel’s most important franchises. It’s something I truly admire and appreciate, a genuine display of talent that deserves full recognition. Congrats Amir!!!
This is truly Iconic .....I remember picking this up off the shelf and it blowing me away ! Congratulations ....
ICONIC and all the superlatives truly apply here. This is just amazing - wow! Congrats!!!
Wow--You sure know how to pick 'em, Amir! This is a truly iconic cover by Jim Lee and Scott Williams! Three quintessential heroes drawn in classic poses and inked masterfully. Stunning work by two of the top artists of the modern era. Doesn't get much better than that. Congrats!
caramba carambita...woooooooooooooooooooooooow
