Notes & Trivia[]
- The X-Men were created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby. They first appeared in The X-Men, Volume 1 #1 in September, 1963. The title eventually evolved to include the "All-New, All-Different" X-Men, after which the series became a runaway hit, ultimately changing its title to Uncanny X-Men. Since then, this outcast team of mutant misadventurers have appeared in numerous comic book titles that have since been adapted into several cartoon programs, feature films, and video games; not to mention copious amounts of merchandising ranging from toys to apparel.
- This issue carries the approval stamp of the Comics Code Authority.
- The tagline to this issue is "Dazzler and Spider-Woman to the Rescue When Kitty Falls -- to the Shadow of Death!"
- This issue is reprinted in black and white in the Essential X-Men, Volume 3 trade paperback collection, released in July. 1998. It is reprinted in full color in X-Men Classic #52 in October, 1990, as well as the Marvel Masterworks: The Uncanny X-Men, Volume 6 hardcover collection in January, 2008, and the Uncanny X-Men Omnibus, Volume 2, published in 2014.
- This is the first appearance of Caliban. Caliban is a mutant tracker, who will be revealed to be a member of a cadre of underground mutants known as the Morlocks. The other members of the Morlocks won't make their first appearance until Uncanny X-Men #169.
