One of 77. I’ma keep it real witchu, chief: I do not expect to agree with that caption! Let’s have a look at what was going on in some other Marvel comics…

MTU 069
One of 77. Still Claremont & Byrne again, although now Byrne is being butchered by an inker credited as “R. Villamonte.” I note with some interest the library-looking “Mar 21” stamped over…
MTU 068

MTU 089
Always fun to see these two together. This is Claremont’s last regular issue as writer on MTU, with pencils by Mike Nasser for most of the issue and Rich Buckler for the…
