X-Men v1 #137, 1980 - Jean Grey and Cyclops make a last stand on John Byrne's compelling cover. Although marred by the contest blurb above, the illustration is well executed. Inside, the larger page count allows the artist to design and pace the story to maximum effect. The book is rife with action, mostly the X-Men versus the Starjammers. However, just as memorable are the nuanced scenes of individuals contemplating the upcoming battle (pages 8-11). Last but not least, Byrne's double-page spread is a stunning depiction of the X-Men. Perfectly composed, each member has a distinct stance and expression. This Chris Claremont story was first reprinted in Phoenix The Untold Story #1.
