Where it came from
Published by Marvel Comics in 1971, X-Men #73 belongs to a period of transition for the series, which had been relegated to reprint status following the cancellation of new stories in 1970. This issue features a reprint of the 1965 story 'The Uncanny Threat of the Vanisher' from X-Men #2, keeping the title on newsstands while the creative team searched for a way to reinvigorate the franchise.
The cover art and interior design were originally helmed by Jack Kirby and Werner Roth during the mid-sixties. The aesthetic was rooted in the Silver Age tradition of dynamic, high-stakes superhero action designed by Stan Lee and Kirby to build the foundations of the Marvel Universe. While these reprint issues were often viewed as a stopgap measure, they served to maintain the presence of the X-Men until the series was relaunched with new material several years later.
