X-Men #141 - John Byrne art & cover + 1st Pyro, Destiny, Avalanche

John Byrne

X-Men v1 #141, 1981 - From the post-apocalyptic future, a full grown Kate Pryde sends her consciousness back into her younger self, intent on changing events that could end the world. The dismal title typography on page one reinforces the devastation of a future yet to come. John Byrne contrasts the darkness and destruction with a brighter, present day splash of Kitty in the Danger Room. Other pages seem to employ smaller panels than usual, but no less exquisite in their detail. Perhaps most impressive is the cover, where Byrne spotlights Kate and the aged Wolverine. Behind them, an outsized poster shows a gallery of mutants who've been captured or killed. Avalanche, Destiny and Pyro make their first appearances in this Chris Claremont story.
