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.
- Alpha Flight is a fictional Canadian superhero team featured in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The team was created by writer Chris Claremont and John Byrne and were originally introduced as a foil to the X-Men in the pages of Uncanny X-Men #120 in April, 1979. They later branched off into their own Alpha Flight ongoing comic book series in 1983.
- This issue is reprinted in the X-Men and Alpha Flight: The Gift collection released in May, 1998 and the X-Men and Alpha Flight trade paperback collection, which was published in November, 2016.
- The tagline for this issue is "The Lord of Lies is going to save the world -- if he has to kill the X-Men and Alpha Flight to do it!"
- Inkers Mike Mignola, Barry Windsor-Smith and Joe Rubinstein are credited as "And friends" in this issue.
- This issue has a wrap-around cover with an illustration of the Ice Giants.
