The Greatest Run of Comic Books | X-Men 94-143 by Chris Claremont, Dave Cockrum and John Byrne
When it comes to discussing the top comic book run of all time (not including limited series) a run that will often be mentioned is X-Men 94-143, along with Giant Size X-Men #1. Why is this run so revered with readers and collectors? In this episode I go over some of my thoughts on the impact this run had from the introduction of these great heroes to the collaborators who were at the peak of their craft. This run of comic books is breathtaking for its pace and has some incredibly entertaining story arcs that are worth checking out. I also talk about how back issue prices can change as well as how expensive these X-Men issues have been historically. They've always been highly sought after because they are such great comic books.
