*Marvel: Also from the Good Doctor this week, three rather nifty consecutive issues of the X-Men, all worthy of note. #52 features the conclusion of the Lorna Dane (Polaris) debut story commenced so ably by Steranko with his work in #49-51. #53 is a fill-in featuring Blastaar with very early art from Barry Smith, whose style back then was quite crude and Kirbyesque, but fascinating to see the roots of what was to follow. #54 features the debut of the Living Pharoah and, more significantly, the brother of Cyclops, Alex Summers, who would soon become Havok.
