Classic X-Men #35

Classic X-Men #35 was published by Marvel Comics in July 1989. The series was designed to reprint iconic stories from the earlier Giant-Size X-Men and Uncanny X-Men runs, providing a new generation of readers with access to Chris Claremont's foundational mutant narratives. This specific issue features a reprint of Uncanny X-Men #130, which famously marks the first appearance of Dazzler, a character created by a committee involving Tom DeFalco, Louise Simonson, John Romita Jr., and Roger Stern to capitalize on the late 1970s disco craze.

The publication is notable for its original supplementary content, which was a hallmark of the Classic X-Men line. This issue includes a new backup story written by Ann Nocenti with art by John Bolton, designed to expand upon the character depth of the X-Men mythos. These additions were generally well-received by fans of the era for their ability to weave deeper emotional stakes into the established continuity of the Claremont-Byrne and Claremont-Cockrum years, serving as a bridge between the classic bronze-age stories and modern reader expectations.
