X-men v1 #118, 1979 - After being rescued at sea by a Japanese ship, the X-men are subsequently taken to the island of Honshu. Their arrival coincides with a conflagration that rages across the port city. This foreign adventure is impeccably drawn by
John Byrne. Japanese culture is faithfully portrayed, from the clean architecture to the traditional attire. A bold two-page spread at the beginning shows the ship's view of the raging firestorm. Byrne uses a more nuanced treatment on pages 16-17, where Wolverine and Mariko meet for the first time (see interior page below). Sunfire also makes an appearance, his first since resigning from the team in
X-men #94. This bronze age comic includes cover art by Dave Cockrum. This is 10 of 35
X-men issues by
Byrne.
