American Update: X-Men #94 – Return of the Mutants
*Marvel: After a long hiatus in reprint limbo, the X-Men, with a new international line-up, made a spectacular return in Giant-Size X-Men #1, and #94 of the ongoing X-Men title marked the return to all-new stories. Scripter Len Wein handed over to Chris Claremont, and Dave Cockrum’s superb illustrations continued to impress. This issue is notoriously hard to find anywhere, being the first New X-Men in the previously-reprint title, and its scarcity is compounded here in the Old Country by the fact that it wasn’t distributed in the UK at all (the distributors in their wisdom bringing in Tomb of Parsnips #47 or somesuch instead…). This copy is a GD-, with a not-quite vertical crease breaking the cover colour, an approximately 3″ diagonal crease at the cover’s right corner, and other minor corner and spine wear. There is also a tear of approximately 1″ in the upper left back cover. However, the interiors are utterly unmarred, and this is a relatively affordable opportunity to obtain a non-distributed and significant item. GD-, cents copy (obviously), £70. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
