The 4" figure I've wanted since 1982...

OMG... I had never even heard of it. I have read both Lifedeath issues so many times, I have them memorized.
I'll check that out...thanks!

I always thought Storm belonged with Forge instead of T'challa.

Although the look is wonderfully dated now, it was a great leap forward for the character from her previous naive-likes-to-walk-around-nekkid-'cause-she's-a-goddess-from-africa portrayal.

She shocked Kitty, led the X-Men during this era and totally PWND Cyclops in the legendary Uncanny X-Men #201.

At the time, not great for Scott, but ultimately it created a wonderful story arc for him to find his "edge" again through X-Factor, Jim Lee's X-Men relaunch and on up through the current issues where he's out from under Professor X's shadow and leading the entire X-Nation.

Barry Windsor Smith's two "Lifedeath" issues are wonderful and it's a crime that they aren't in print as trades right now.

Ah, so many great memories. I had just as a young teen started buying comics weekly with Uncanny 194, I think it was, and Alpha Flight 12. Byrne and Claremont pulled me back in to comics as a teenager. I've reread these issues so many times over the years. Good stuff.
