1st app of Kitty Pryde; 1st app of Emma Frost; 1st team app of Hellfire Club (in shadows); Dark Phoenix saga Part 1, Byrne cover; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 8 (CBI)
Known primarily for introducing Kitty Pryde to the world of the X-Men, and well as Emma Frost, the White Queen of the Hellfire Club, X-Men #129 also is the first issue in a story arc that would culminate in the Dark Phoenix saga, regularly regarded as one of the greatest achievements in the history of comics. It will come as no surprise that X-Men fans across the planet are awaiting the team’s reboot in the MCU, and, doubtless, that reboot will eventually involve Kitty Pryde, making this issue a potential barnburner down the road. The amazing interiors by John Byrne and the sustained respect for his run on the title in the late 70s and early 80s make each of his contributions to the X-Men a special collectible all its own.
