X-Men #7 - Jack Kirby art & cover

Jack Kirby

X-Men v1 #7, 1964 - Professor X leaves, passing the leadership mantle over to Cyclops. Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants resurface, attempting to recruit the Blob into their ranks. Jack Kirby's opening splash of the graduating X-men is more than a little silly. Still, he compensates with many more skillfully drawn pages and an arresting cover. Some of the best panels include the introduction of Cerebro (page 5), a beatnik nightclub (page 12) and Magneto's torpedo-led attack (page 17). Kirby's artistry applies to both dynamic and relatively calm scenes. This story was later reprinted in Amazing Adventures v4 #13. This is 7 of 17 X-men issues by Kirby.
