Cockrum X-Men #104 p30

Just strolling through your gallery Martin and thought, Wow what a great page! 

I must sincerely apologize for taking this long to write an appropriate comment.  As a fellow collector of early Cockrum X-Men pages, this one is a great example of Claremont's storytelling.  Do not get me wrong - Cockrum and Grainger did an incredible job pencilling and inking this page - as I do not mean to disparage the two people who visually created this masterpiece.  The identification of a new evil mutant left many wondering where this last panel would go for future stories.  It would not be until issue 122 that we fans would have an inkling that Mutant X (Proteus) would become one of the X-Men's most challenging foes.  Issues 125 through 128 provided us with one great story arc where we, the readers, would realize the full potential of Claremont's new villain.  This story arc also more fully developed the characters with their fears and insecurities when confronting Proteus, both as individuals and as a team.  Regardless, I digress into the future.  This page is Awesome!  Thanks much for sharing.
