Synopsis:

More early adventures of The X-Men from the Marvel Age of Comics, collected in a smaller format that's perfect for new readers! The Xavier School has a new headmaster - Roy Thomas! Stan Lee's right-hand man, Roy took mutantkind on wild new adventures as he cut his teeth as scripter of super hero sagas. These early adventures come from the time when Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Angel and Iceman were a quirky quintet of teenagers together against the world. Across ten issues you'll see them confronted by a host of villains - from Count Nefaria and his host of henchmen, to the Locust and the Aztec-inspired Kukulcan. You'll also witness the first appearance of mainstay X-Man, Banshee, and read the rare stories when a sixth mutant member, the Mimic, joined Professor X's squad.

About the Author: Roy Thomas joined the Marvel Bullpen as a writer and editor under Stan Lee, scripting key runs of nearly every title of the time: Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, Sub-Mariner, Thor, X-Men and more. He wrote the first 10 years of Marvel's Conan the Barbarian and Savage Sword of Conan; and launched such series as Defenders, Iron Fist, Invaders and Warlock. At DC, he developed All-Star Squadron, Infinity Inc. and related titles, proving instrumental in reviving the Golden Age Justice Society of America. Thomas later became editor of Alter Ego, a magazine devoted to comic-book history, and co-scripted the sword-and-sorcery films Fire and Ice and Conan the Destroyer.

John Buscema (1927-2002) literally wrote the book on being a Marvel artist -- namely, How To Draw Comics the Marvel Way -- and few were better qualified. His career dated back to the Timely/Atlas era of the late '40s and early '50s. Soon after beginning the Marvel Age of Comics, Stan Lee recruited Buscema from the advertising field to the Marvel Bullpen. Buscema followed a long run on Avengers with the long-anticipated first Silver Surfer series. He subsequently succeeded Jack Kirby on Fantastic Four, Thor and other titles. By the time of his retirement in 1996, Buscema had penciled nearly every Marvel title -- including his personal favorite, Conan the Barbarian.
