X-men v1 #116, 1978 - With several members captured by the Petrified Man, the remaining X-men attempt a rescue deep within his citadel. On the opening splash,
John Byrne cleverly incorporates the story title within the landscape itself. An incredible vista of the Sun God's city immediately follows, dwarfing the characters with its scale and complexity. This two-page spread is the largest scene in the story, yet the remaining pages are smartly paced and composed. Storm's dive into a endless earthen shaft (page 27) is another highlight, where Byrne's thin diagonal panels suggest the sensation of freefall. This is 8 of 35

Thanks Chris. I like your blog too.
Thanks for taking a look Teddy!! Much appreciated.
First mention of Wolvie's healing factor? And first reference to his unbreakable bones (later retconned to adamantium)?
Possibly. For now I'm calling out issues that are obvious keys (1st appearances, etc.). Thanks for the input!
