They brought it back later, but there's a pretty clear line between the "old" x-men and the "new" ones. This book has the last few issues of the "old" x-men (Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Angel, Beast and Iceman with a little Havok and Polaris here and there). Since there weren't enough of these comics to fill up a whole book, the publishers finish it out with a Spiderman, an Avengers, and Beasts's solo series (where he experiments with a potion that turns him into a real beast). I am loving all of these, but this one was my least favorite, since it was only about half "x-men". My only complaint is that all the comics printed here are presented in black and white... I'd gladly pay a few dollars more for a color reprint (I mean come on guys, the originals sold for $1 each in color!) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ All the Neal Adams/Roy Thomas Stories *by M***L on May 18, 2009* This is the one you've been waiting for. It includes all of the classic Adams/Thomas stories as well as a couple of issues before, and some issues after. This collection is fleshed out with other books like "Amazing Adventures" starring the Beast when he first got blue and furry, and X-Men appearances in "The Incredible Hulk" and "Marvel Team Up" which were published after the X-Men book was essentially canceled (they just reprinted earlier issues with new covers from issues 66 through 93).If you're not familiar with these issues, this volume is a great, inexpensive way to get your hands on these classics and see what all the fuss is about.The artwork is still eye-popping and revolutionary, nearly four decades later. Neal Adams' beautiful pencils under Tom Palmer's superb inks are still the high-water-mark for comic art. And more, it's just plain FUN.Marvel had already decided that this book was headed for cancellation when Adams came on board; the pressure was off and he could do what he liked on the book with Roy Thomas as a willing (eager!) collaborator. They took a listless book with a miserable rogues gallery and turned it into a run for the ages.There is a story (probably apocryphal) that when Neal handed in the pencilled pages for issue 54, one of the Marvel Bullpen stalwarts was so astonished by them he dropped the pages on the floor. I don't know if that story is true, but these are definitely jaw dropping, if not page dropping.If you're a Neal Adams fan, you'll definitely want to get your hands on this book.The stories without Adams are okay, but nothing to brag about. This book also suffers from the ongoing problem with all the Marvel "Essential" books: no color at all, which is a shame. Adams colored his own stuff in his run, and it's a shame to lose that. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Classic! Completely age appropriate. *by P***N on September 26, 2014* I gotta say... comics were written so much differently back in the 60's. Reading through a single issue might take you a half an hour or more... these days you can read most comic books before you are done in the restroom!These books are great. The size of phone books, and chock-full of classic stories you probably would never find the original issues from.Also, with them being inexpensive and softbound, they are perfect for lending to friends you want to get into comic books.TOTALLY AGE APPROPRIATE!
