Classic X-Men #14

Classic X-Men #14 was published by Marvel Comics in September 1987 as part of a reprint series designed to revisit and expand upon the early stories of the All-New, X-Men era. This specific issue reproduces Giant-Size X-Men #1 from 1975, the landmark story by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum that famously introduced the modern team, including Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, and Thunderbird, alongside the returning Wolverine.

The reprint edition features a new cover illustration by Arthur Adams, an artist who was then rising to prominence for his highly detailed, expressive work on the mutants. Adams sought to capture the energy of the original team debut with his signature stylistic flair, which was warmly received by readers at the time as a fresh take on the classic roster. The issue also includes a new back-up story written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by John Bolton, intended to provide additional character depth to the original narrative.
