Here is a promotional piece for X-Men #1 in 1991. This was a possible team lineup for that book before the final details were hammered out.
The art was finally used for the recently published X-Men by Chris Claremont and Jim Lee Omnibus.
A Collection of unpublished or rarely seen art from Marvel's X-Men Comics. This blog will also feature promotional art, commissions, alternate covers, and trade paperback & graphic novel covers.
Great Googly Moogly! Do you happen to have the other half of this image? The one drawn by Whilce Portacio? It has Xavier's head to mirror Magneto in this image. Also has Cyc, Jean, Angel, Iceman, Colossus and Gambit.
ReplyDeleteThis is the only place I have ever seen that art, I wish I could find a better scan:

Thanks for pointing out that this is a companion piece to the Jim Lee art, I never made the connection!
I believe that image was used in the 1991 X-Men Jim Lee card set released by Comic Images.
