American Update: X-Men #6 with the Sub-Mariner
*Marvel: Was Namor or was he not an Evil Mutant? Well, he joined them briefly in this issue as a result of Magneto’s machinations, but after a tussle with the X-Men, involving the BEM, he soon realised the error of his ways and returned to Atlantis. In a running theme here, I must remark on the cover colourist’s continuing faux pas. Although he got the Scarlet Witch in scarlet this time round (following the mysterious Emerald Witch on #4 & #5 covers), Subby is sporting a pair of red pants rather than the customary green he wears inside. A decent copy, with the pence printed price blacked out, some edge wear and corner blunting and a faint subscription-like crease down the middle which just breaks colour for a few cms. Reasonable pages and firmly-attached staples.
