The final issue of Cockrum"s firs run, he tees up a cacophony of characters for the next artist. The mighty mutants are trnsported actoss space to rescue Lilandra from her brother and an army of weirdos. We learn why she and the Professor are so connected and Wolverine borrows some clothes.
CCXCC is a weekly Comic Club where we take a look at Claremont's run on X-Men, issue by issue. I have never read the whole run and John has it engrained in his DNA. I'll be looking at it from an artist's POV and John will analyze them as a writer. Join us every Wednesday as we go through the 292+ issues of Uncanny X-Men written by a master storyteller and drawn by some if the finest talents to ever grace the comics medium.
John Coats is the writer of comics, Dino Beasts and Ninja IV: Dark Vengeance, drawn by his brother, James. He is also the writer of NINJA and M.L.F. and editor of the critically acclaimed BERSERKER series by Bludgeon.

I am sad that Dave Cockrum will not be regular artist on X-Men in your review show, but am excited for John Byrne next issue cause that is when the book gets really amazing. I love the splash pages in this issue and the awesome battle between the X-Men and The Shi’ar Imperial Guard. My favorite part was when Wolverine knocked out Fang (the wolf-man dude) and took his costume as his own when his own x-uniform was burned by the fire guardsman. It had me laughing so hard.

This initial Cockrum is fantastic. He really sets the series up for success going forward. Claremont really lucked out having him as his first artist.

It looks like Chuck Patton's most notable work is on the Justice League. He was the artist that drew Gerry Conway's Detroit Justice League era, meaning he created, or at least, drew the initial appearances of Vibe, Gypsy and Steel (the Hank Heywood Steel, not the John Henry Irons one). I had the first four issues of Detroit Justice League as a kid and I treasured those corny comics.
It's too bad he didn't do more of the Classic X-men books, because his style seems more than a little inspired by Cockrum's art.
