Description: Astounding Stories #80 Alan Class, undated (circa 1971). 52 pages. Black and white with color cover. Features the very first non-US, English-language printing of X-Men (vol. 1) #54 (the first appearance of Alex Summers, a.k.a. Havok) and 55, including the cover to #55. (Main stories only.) Written by Arnold Drake and Roy Thomas. Artwork by Don Heck and Werner Roth. Cover art by Barry Windsor-Smith (Conan the Barbarian, Avengers). A very hard to find, scarce international Marvel Silver Age key issue, with a much lower print run than the US edition. An affordable collectible copy. In Fair to Good condition, with typical wear for this condition range. Light spine roll and a few significant spine cracks. Front cover has separation at top and bottom, but is still attached (note that this issue has glued binding and is somewhat fragile). Inside covers have light foxing. Inside pages are white to off-white and clean, and have no writing, highlighting, or marks of any kind. Like most Alan Class publications, this issue includes several other short stories from U.S. comic books. Alan Class UK comic books are a bit shorter and wider than US comics of the era, and show more cover art than their US counterparts.
