Where it came from
The X-Men #62, released in November 1969, represents a pivotal moment in the history of the original X-Men run. At this stage in the series, the title was struggling with low sales, leading to the decision to stop producing new stories after issue #66. This specific issue features a cover by Jim Steranko, who brought his signature psychedelic, high-contrast aesthetic to the title during his brief but influential stint, helping to modernize the visual language of the characters before the series moved into reprints.
Written by Roy Thomas with interior art by Neal Adams and Tom Palmer, the issue depicts the X-Men facing off against the Living Pharaoh, later revealed to be the mutant known as Havok. Adams’ work on this series is frequently cited by collectors and critics as the turning point for the X-Men, as his more realistic and dynamic anatomical style provided a necessary shift from the older, more stylized art direction of the mid-1960s, ultimately setting the tone for the X-Men's eventual 1970s revival.
