Where it came from
The X-Men #134, published in June 1980, serves as a pivotal chapter in the landmark 'Dark Phoenix Saga'. Written by Chris Claremont and penciled by John Byrne, this issue details the X-Men’s desperate struggle against the Hellfire Club as they attempt to rescue Jean Grey from the corrupting influence of Mastermind. It captures the height of the Claremont-Byrne creative partnership, a period defined by complex character development and long-form narrative arcs that redefined the team’s emotional stakes.
John Byrne’s visual approach during this era emphasized cinematic pacing and dynamic character interplay, marking a transition toward more grounded, consequential storytelling in superhero comics. The issue is widely regarded as a high point in 1980s Marvel history, praised for its tight tension and the masterful buildup to Jean Grey’s eventual transformation. It solidified the series' reputation for tackling mature themes within the framework of traditional comic book action.
