    Where did you find this? Was it published as an actual comic or is it from a blog/website?

    Hey Ameron, it was the back up feature in the Phoenix Untold Story one-shot from 1984.

    If I'm not mistaken these were originally from the X-MEN COMPANION 2-volume book set.

    They were GREAT resources of that era's X-MEN with articles and interviews from many great creators of the time.

    BUT the PHOENIX issue is probably an easier (and cheaper) find.

    OK... I just gave this a re-read.
    No. this is a different thing.
    BUT it has much the same info as the X-MEN COMPANION set.

    The difference here is that this is a session with everyone in one room discussing it, and the COMPANIONS have interviews with everyone separately - going into more detail.

    The three items (Phoenix Untold Story & the 2 Companion books) would be perfect as a complete PHOENIX / X-MEN info set.

    i always found that interview extremely interesting, because claremont and byrne seem to be very friendly with shooter, when word on the street is they both hated him (especially byrne).

    Hey ~P~, thanks for the information.

    And it is a great interview, very casual without any kind of undertones...

    I have this. It's brilliant. Dark Phoenix saga. Best comic storyline every. I think Jean Grey/Phoenix was my first childhood crush.
