American Update: Double Debuts in the Uncanny X-Men – Mr. Sinister & Jubilee 1st Appearances
*Marvel: A bit ‘modern’ for our tastes, but it can’t be denied that these are latter-day significant issues from the long-running Uncanny X-Men series: #221 NM p £30 features the first appearance of Mister Sinister, soon to become a thorn in the side of Marvel’s Merry Mutants and a major player from this point onwards… And #244 VF/NM p £25 presents us with the premiere of Jubilation Lee, aka Jubilee, the pyrotechnic princess who was one of the team’s most popular members in the latter days of the 20th Century. (When last seen, she was a single-mom vampire over in Hellcat’s series, but that’s modern comics for you. Let’s all remember her in happier times, eh?) Since neither debut is cover-blurbed or illustrated, these two issues have tended to slip under the radar of speculators, so now would be a good time to hit ’em up before prices rise anew.
