I stopped picking up X-Men every month before #300, managing to get that one and the holograph one before giving up on comics entirely, for a long while. Most anything I've done since has been limited to a TPBs or very brief runs/limited series, and keeping up with stuff on the MU app. The end of an era.John Fnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-74728480172664447402016-09-28T11:31:08.720-05:002016-09-28T11:31:08.720-05:00It was in an issue of MARVEL AGE, accompanying a r...It was in an issue of MARVEL AGE, accompanying a random promo piece.

I'm sure they had reference, so it was bizarre that they'd neglect certain details.<br /><br />The worst offenders were these picture books that adapted the X-Men cartoon show. I love Gray Morrow, but I always hated his art in these: http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6512/558/1600/File0241.jpg<br />http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6512/558/1600/File0243.jpgIan Millerhttp://ianjmiller.deviantart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-25012870785454548022016-09-27T21:23:11.370-05:002016-09-27T21:23:11.370-05:00That is one ugly ugly pin up.
