Description

First appearance of Jim Lee on the Uncanny X-Men! He would come back next for issue #252, and continue a run (missing only a few issues) up to #280. A transformative element on both this title, and comics in general. This was the cover for the Chris Claremont story "The Cradle Will Fall!". It was produced in ink over graphite and blue pencil on Marvel cover stock Bristol board with an image area of 9.75" x 15". Signed by Jim Lee in the lower margin. In Very Good condition. From the Personal Collection of Jim Lee via Heritage.
