*Marvel: A transitional period for the X-Men title, as Neal Adams took over the pencilling duties with #56, producing some of his best artwork as the series was revitalised under the authorship of Roy Thomas. Following a tussle with the Living Pharoah, the team had a return engagement with the Sentinels. Smack in the middle of this, Alex Summers developed into the costumed super-hero called Havok in #58. A range of favourite issues, mostly very nice copies from the Good Doctor.
