Nobody mentions X-Men #1-10 when great Silver Age Marvel books are brought up so I was surprised at how good this was. I've been buying these new Masterworks with the Michael Cho covers so my wife bought this for me for my birthday or Father's day or some such occasion. 1: The Strangest Super-Heroes of All collects X-Men #1-10.
Mighty Marvel Masterworks: The X-Men Vol. Hmm! Also, here we see the trope of the heroes misunderstanding each other and a huge ruckus occurs because superheroes engage in diplomacy only AFTER fighting for several pages. Gross! Also, Magneto has his own spaceship? Nation? Asteroid? Damn! So that's where Chris Claremont got those ideas.
I was a little thrown that Professor Xavier has a crush on a student. I loved reading those first issues where not only do we get introduced to the heroes: Cyclops, Angel, Iceman, Beast, and Marvel Girl, but also to the villains: Magneto, The Vanisher, The Blob, Unus the Untouchable, The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants with Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, and finally Kazar. Art Simek and Sam Rosen did the lettering.
Stan Lee wrote every issue and Jack Kirby and Chic Stone illustrated them. 1 is the third in the Marvel Masterworks series and it collects the X-Men comic book issues #1-10. Being confronted with volumes of graphic novel trade paperbacks had to affect me. It probably had to do with the fact that there were so many relics of having owned a family comic shop early on in life, where my mother and two brothers worked as well.
After so much death (two siblings and my mom) in the family, moving to Puerto Rico to take care of my dad felt very nostalgic despite never having lived in his Puerto Rico home. I've communicated in the past how 2018 was a very important year for me.
