*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 in the UK, 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, because all of those ‘Yankee Horror Comics’ are alike, right?). Our first copy in for a few years is a decent mid-grade cents copy (there are no pence copies, of course), with a nice glossy cover, supple off-white pages and good staples tight at spine and centrefold. There are very small colour breaking creases at top edge, plus across upper and lower right cover corners, and centrefold. Spine wear and corner blunting is minimal, with additional soft and non-colour breaking creasing slightly further in at the top corner. A copy that presents well.
