Spidey #19
In "Journée de la femme 1981," Stan Lee and Jack Kirby deliver a standout moment in the X-Men's early saga, with Paul Reinman’s inks bringing Kirby’s dynamic energy to life. When Professor X detects a new mutant, the team tracks him to a carnival—only to find the Blob, a towering sideshow act whose immovable form and bulletproof flesh make him a force of nature. Cover by Jean-Yves Mitton captures the issue’s carnival intrigue, setting the stage for a story where secrets, identity, and the X-Men’s mission collide in a 5 FRF comic from 1981.

Professor X detects a new mutant and sends the X-Men to investigate. They arrive at a carnival and encounter the Blob, a very fat sideshow attraction who can bounce bullets off of his malleable hide as well as anchor himself to the earth and become immovable. The X-Men bring him back to the mansion as a potential member but the Blob spurns their invitation and returns to the carnival. Realizing that the Blob knows their secret, the X-Men lure him back to the mansion where Xavier wipes his memory.
