This was/is one of my all-time favorite stories, I think #190, and #191. The "barbarian" versions of the 2 teams---how cool, and that "device" has been used since, like Avengers Vol. 2 #2. Romita's sketchy style was perfect for this story. It doesn't always work, for me, but that run of X-men was well served by his pencil(s). Great cover.

Recolor the background portraits and this would've been a great poster. X-Men Vs Avengers, 1984 style!
ReplyDeleteSeeing Spider-Man killed in that issue spun me out. Great cover, please keep the JR JR X-Men covers coming Jason! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Starfoxxx, happy holidays to you as well.
ReplyDeleteHey EJK, no kidding. It would have made for an amazing poster!
ReplyDeleteHey Anonymous, thanks. Will do, I've found a bunch of Jr Jr original X-Men covers and will be posting them soon!
ReplyDeleteI second the JR JR love! Keep 'em coming, Jason! Much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThanks EJK. I'll keep on hunting...
