Wow, I didn't know this kind of obscure issue of MTU had so many firsts, especially the first time Byrne drew the X-men.
ReplyDeleteJust a guess, but I'd say it looks like Cockrum touched up Byrne's pencils, just like he did in Iron Fist #15, the next time Byrne drew the X-Men.
ReplyDeleteBoy howdy! A cool issue. I agree with J.A., I see a little Cockrum in there.
ReplyDeleteA cool period for MTU. Great art by Byrne and fine writing by Mantlo. In the issue after next, we would see the titanic team-up of Spider-Man and Adam Warlock, as they face off against the cosmic menace of the Stranger on the moon!
