Phoenix The Untold Story #1 - John Byrne art, cover & reprint + 1st issue

John Byrne

Phoenix The Untold Story v1 #1, 1984 - This special edition reprints X-men #137, the stunning conclusion to the "Dark Phoenix" saga. Printed on heftier paper with brighter colors, the issue also boasts a five page alternate ending never before published. Accompanying this is an idyllic splash of Scott Summers and Jean Grey, intended as an alternate opening to X-men #138. John Byrne's new cover seems basic and straightforward, but when viewed with the back cover, the full panorama is spectacular. An in-depth interview with writer Chris Claremont and Byrne rounds out the book. This is 1 of 1 Phoenix The Untold Story issues by Byrne. /// key 1st issue
