American Update: X-Men #51, a Jim Steranko Classic
*Marvel: Following on from the epic #50, in which Lorna Dane assumed her full mutant powers as the Mistress of Magnetism (and Magneto’s putative daughter), scripter Arnold Drake and artist Jim Steranko continued their daring and cinematic Magneto/X-Men clash in this issue, with the last minute reveal of a new villain with a secret – Erik the Red! This is a lovely VF+ copy, bright and tight, though there are a few interior ink streaks which are original print flaws, not related to the physical condition of the book. Nonetheless, a very desirable copy with considerable eye appeal.
