Where it came from
Published in July 1980, The X-Men #135 stands as a pivotal installment in the legendary Dark Phoenix Saga. Written by Chris Claremont with pencils by John Byrne and inks by Terry Austin, this issue was crafted during one of the most critically acclaimed creative runs in Marvel Comics history. It captures the escalating tension of Jean Grey’s transformation, as the X-Men struggle to contain the cosmic power threatening to consume her personality and judgment.
The creative team intended to push the boundaries of superhero storytelling by introducing lasting, high-stakes consequences for the protagonists. Byrne’s dynamic, cinematic layouts and Claremont’s focus on complex, internal character development shifted the tone of the series toward a more mature, serialized drama. Upon its release, the issue was widely received as a landmark moment that solidified the X-Men's position as Marvel's most popular franchise, setting a gold standard for comic book narrative pacing and visual storytelling.
