Essential Classic X-Men

About the series
In the late 1960s, Marvel gave the struggling X-Men a bold new direction, and this two-issue series from 2006–2010 collects that pivotal era. Written primarily by Roy Thomas with art by Neal Adams and Werner Roth, these stories set the team on a more cosmic and dramatic path. Though brief, the run is essential for showcasing the classic team—Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Iceman, and Angel—as they faced off against threats like the Savage Land and the mutant-hunting Sentinels. It's a snapshot of the moment the X-Men began evolving into the icons they would become.
