Yea- coming along nicely... but these prices on xmen art are not making it easy!

[Unstoppablejayd]

Well the day has come... the biggest hole in my collection is filled...

Jim Lee and Scott Williams from X-men 2 ... Xavier vs Magneto.. the essential basis of the whole X-men mythos... two sides of the same coin.. best friends at odds over ideology and the fate of the mutant world in the balance.. massive thank you to my friend George P for letting this one come live with me. I could not be happier!!

Congrats! It's been fun to see all the additions you've gotten so far. This has to feel like you made it to the top of Mt. Everest. Love the detail on this page. Just perfect!

And it even has Moira, who, while not super important in the classic mythos, IS very important in the current lore because she's finally unified the 2 ideals and mutantkind as a whole. She's basically the center of everything going on in X-Men right now, and with a solo book on the horizon, I suspect she will become a more popular character overall.

Very nice KEY addition to your quest. Lots of good story and art on this page, Lee/Williams are hard to beat, CONGRATS!!!

What are the next 5 targets? What are the most challenging holes still on the list?

Thanks!! i would like to get a Churchill Peterson or Dodson  next as the Lee hurt financially!  

Neal Adams is the one that may be beyond my grasp without a big liquidation of other pieces or comics.. Byrne is the same boat, but at least the elsewhen page has kinda kept that thirst at bay ...

Neal and Byrne will be tough gets, for sure. I wouldn't bet against you figuring out a way to make them both happen.

Congrats and good luck with the X-Quest!

So this happen and I could not be happier even though it is not original...

John Byrne recreating John Byrnes epic X-men 115 dps...

[Unstoppablejayd]

Oh and another check mark.. the very underrated Brandon Peterson

lots of action on this page so I think it is a great representation 

 

[Unstoppablejayd]

I owe a big twice up sized thank you for this check mark to @GreatEscape ! Don Heck goodness from the first appearance  of Frankenstein! Thanks again Dino

 

[gumbydarnit]

Very nice you're getting close to checking em ALL off!

IF that happens, what's next?

Ian Churchill has a few pages for sale on his website. 

https://ianchurchillart.com/?portfolio=uncanny-x-men

I bought something from him awhile back and they were very good through the whole process and did a good job with the shipping.

Took a ride up to Terrificon over the weekend and was able to get another check … Tom Raney is off the list! Grabbed a couple pages as they were very fairly priced!
