its not the best panel from that book. There is one with cyclops firing at a sentinel that looks very modern, but I couldn't find it.

Really, aside from the printing technique, that page was very modern, especially for a book from the 1960s.

That was my thought. The Panel layout in that book feels very modern to me. its not the 3 rows of 2 square layout that pretty much every issue holds to. Its very stylized. When I read that issue, I was blown away by the Art.

True it doesn't quite match todays art, but it was leaps and bounds closer then anything then, or that I have run across in the 1100 issues I have read since that one.

That Neal Adams run on x-men was amazing. Seriously, 1969?! And to think it will just get better!

That is really good on Marvel's part. Quite creative thinking on the mother's part too. I wonder if she asked them to create a character like Blue Ear to help her out or if the public relations staff just saw the opportunity.
