The tyrannical bald man, dressed so conspicuously normal, must have known about the fire that would soon burn and resurrect and burn and resurrect all heroes, splintering them like wood. He must have recognized the first spark in the most beautiful woman we had ever seen--red and black and fierce; so beautiful that her lover will beg to die alongside her in the cockpit. After this moment, only the unchanging fire would remain. Why not tear each other apart?
Classic X-Men #8 (Marvel Comics, April, 1987)

ReplyDeleteThat Cyclops has no penis. And Jean's biceps are huge. We gotta bring this level of abstraction and decoration back into mainstream comics bro.
