X-men #58 - Neal Adams art & cover + 1st Havok

Neal Adams

8.  X-men v1 #58, 1969 - Captured by the Sentinels, Alex Summers makes his first appearance in costume as the mutant Havok. Neal Adams' graphically-inclined cover leads into an outstanding sequence of pages. Discovered by Sentinels, Iceman and the Beast take evasive action, manifested in an exceptional two-page spread. Adams' inventive layouts, coupled with his realistic style, result in a new, contemporary rendition of the X-men. This in turn would bring newfound interest and enthusiasm to the characters. This Roy Thomas story was later reprinted in Giant-size X-men #2 and X-Men Classics #1. This is 3 of 9 X-men issues by Adams. /// key 1st appearance, 1st cover Alex Summers as Havok / Top 10 Adams comics / Adams gallery
