Notes & Trivia[]
Cyclops gets pissy... again.
- 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.
- The tagline for this issue is "Cyclops vs. Havok -- in a duel to the death! My brother -- my enemy!"
- Letterer Annette Kawecki is credited as Annette Kaye in this issue.
- Lorna Dane becomes Polaris for the first time in this issue.
- This is the first appearance of Davan Shakari, aka Eric the Red.
