*Marvel: Following the debut of the ‘New’ X-Men in Giant-Size X-Men #1, the revamped international team took over the moribund reprint series with #94 and galvanized a whole new generation of readers. #96 was the first new issue released in the UK, and it caused us all in the Old Country to sit up and pay attention, not least because it featured the cuddliest demon ever, and the premier of long-running supporting character (and love interest for Professor X) Moira MacTaggert, a brilliant scientist who also happened to be a dab hand with firearms.
