"I'm the Juggernaut"!- The Unstoppable X-Men 12 Appreciation/Club Thread 0

[Jaydogrules]

Ain't it about time old Juggy got his own thread?  

This has always been one of my favourite (and most under-valued, IMO early X-Men keys).  It certainly has a lot going for it with both the first appearance/origin of the Juggernaut as well as the origin of Prof. X.  

I know there's some beautiful and high grade copies lurking on these boards, so let's see 'em!

I'll start things off with my own humble entry.  I just wish I had gotten around to upgrading it before the price surge, but oh well it'll have to do!

I’ve got nothing to contribute, other than I love jugs! And have since I was a kid... Hard not to like the baddest mofo on the block (stay out of this hulksters).

X-Men #12 is also the only silver age Marvel superhero book with Toth art . 

A great story, as well.  It was the first X-Men book I bought, and I was thrilled by the story.  Great stuff.

Yup.  Great story.

A shame that Colletta inked his pencils, though; badly IMO.  For me, Toth's art is best admired without anyone else's embellishment.

I have a raw copy in a box somewhere.
