X-Men #133 - John Byrne art & cover

X-Men #133, 1980 - Interestingly, this is the first Wolverine solo cover of any Marvel title. Perhaps the character is beginning to gather a following on his own? Byrne illustrates another exceptional issue. The opening splash page of gunmen looking for Wolverine is among his best. Nearly as good is the full final page of the captured and bound X-men. This is number 25 of 35 X-men issues with Byrne art and/or covers. See today's posts or more Byrne or X-men issues.
