American Update: Rise… Like a Phoenix! Phoenix Debut in X-Men #101
*Marvel: The success of Claremont and Cockrum’s ‘New’ X-Men of the 1970s was consolidated in issue #101, when another piece of the series’ dramatic narrative stepped forth. Jean Grey, the distaff X-Man formerly known as Marvel Girl, sacrificed herself to save her comrades, and – depending on what version of history Marvel are playing in any given week – was either possessed by, or replaced with, the cosmic entity known as Phoenix. Either way, this is the first appearance of either the Phoenix entity or the Phoenix identity, and has become a sought-after key issue. This copy is FN+ pence at £50. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
