Extra Material from Classic X-Men #16

The first thing I want to flesh out on this blog is the "Appearances" page above so I started on it right last night.  In doing so, I was reminded that the "Classic X-Men" comics reprinting the X-Men issues in which Alpha Flight was introduced included a few extra pages.

I don't know if this is common knowledge, or even if it is if many Alpha Flight fans would have bought Classic X-Men for the sake of those extra 3-4 pages.  In any event, one additional page from Classic X-Men 16, reprinting X-Men 109 (Guardian's first appearance, known as Weapon Alpha at the time) focuses on Mac as he prepares to confront Wolverine.


The other is post-battle hand-wringing.


Pencils are by Kieron Dwyer, inks by Terry Austin (wow, really?) and colours by Petra Scotese. Oh, and as you can probably guess by the rambling, bloated internal dialogue, writing credit goes to Chris Claremont.
