Where it came from
X-Men Classic was an anthology series published by Marvel Comics starting in 1986, designed primarily to reprint key stories from the 1970s run of Uncanny X-Men. Issue #61, released in 1991, featured a reprint of Uncanny X-Men #135, a pivotal chapter in the Dark Phoenix Saga. These reprints were essential for new readers to experience the foundational work of writer Chris Claremont and artist John Byrne, who transformed the series into a cultural phenomenon during their collaborative run.
The issue features new cover art by Darick Robertson, a common practice for the series to modernize the aesthetic while preserving the original interior storytelling. The design ethos focused on recontextualizing the dramatic narrative of Jean Grey's descent into corruption for an audience accustomed to the more kinetic, stylized art of the early 1990s. While intended as a bridge between eras, the series is now regarded as a definitive archive of the X-Men's most celebrated thematic development.
