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.
In "Prenez garde au Colosse !", the X-Men are sent to investigate a mysterious new mutant detected by Professor X, leading them to a traveling carnival where they meet the Blob—a towering, immovable sideshow performer whose thick, elastic body defies bullets and anchors him to the ground. Though he’s offered a place at the mansion, the Blob refuses, and when he learns the team’s secret, the X-Men must bring him back to erase his memories and keep their identity safe.
