Dark Horse Books and Marvel Comics continue the oversized hardcover collection series of Bullpen Books with a fourth volume; The Art of The Uncanny X-Men. This oversized 10×14” book collects iconic covers, full issues and original art reproduced from archival scans, curated and contextualized by comics historians John Lind and Chris Ryall in a new essay, captioned commentary and a new introduction.
The X-Men is one of the bestselling comics franchises of all time, featuring one of the best-loved super hero teams in the Marvel Universe. This volume focuses on the iconic 1970s X-Men era by Len Wein, Chris Claremont, John Byrne, and Dave Cockrum, including Giant-Size X-Men #1 (the first appearances of Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, and Thunderbird) and X-Men #101. It also includes the equally iconic Uncanny X-Men #137 (“The Death of Phoenix”) and “Days of Future Past” in Uncanny X-Men #141–#142.
