X-Men #131 - John Byrne art & cover + 1st Emma Frost cover

John Byrne

X-Men v1 #131, 1980 - Kitty Pryde goes through a baptism of fire, helping the X-men rescue their teammates from the Hellfire Club's White Queen (Emma Frost). Along with his terrific artwork, John Byrne uses some clever sequencing for Nightcrawler's multi-pronged attack (see interior page below) and the X-men's quiet transition from heroes to civilians (page 26). As usual, the most gripping scene occurs on the opening splash, as Kitty desperately tries to lose her pursuers in a back alley. Although introduced in X-men #129, Emma Frost makes her first cover appearance. This is 23 of 35 X-men issues by Byrne. /// key 1st cover Emma Frost
