X-Men Classics

Some time ago, I asked readers to name X-Men works by Mike Zeck.  Nobody guessed the correct answer, but I'll be featuring the covers to X-Men Classics anyway!  This was issue #1 of a three issue series that reprinted Neal Adams classic X-Men run with new covers and front pages by Zeck.

First X-Men

Wrapping up Neal Adams Week at Unpublished X-Men, we bring you a shot of Wolverine that was one of a series of Ebay auctions some years back.  This week has featured Neal Adams drawing the All-New All-Different X-Men, rather than the Original Team he drew in the comics.  If you haven't seen it yet, check out First X-Men, a series he drew just last year featuring Wolverine's attempt to bring together a team of mutants before Professor X's original team!

Neal Adams and the Case of the Obscured Logo

This cover for X-Men 56 by Neal Adams was rejected because the X-Men characters obscured the logo of the book.

Here is the published cover, with the X-Men on the ground.

The unpublished cover with a different color scheme can be seen on Neal Adam's website, along with the original black and white art:
