™ and ©1988 Marvel Characters, Inc.

An ashcan-sized giveaway, this mini-comic reprints X-Men (1st series) #53, a Silver Age clash between those merry mutants and Fantastic Four villain Blastaar. Though entertaining, this tale is more significant for showcasing the first professional work of artist Barry Windsor-Smith (Conan the Barbarian).
