any of these early Byrne X-men are one of a kinds.... definitely a golden era in comics.

Posted on 7/29/2010

OMG!!! YOU HAVE REALLY HIT THE MOTHER OF ALL GRAILS!!! IMHO THIS IS IT!!! SWEET!! CONGRATS!!

Posted on 7/29/2010

Sweet Jesus!! Talk about taking you back...Lord, I remember this page when I was a teen. Oh how I loved Byrne's Uncanny X-Men and Perez's Teen Titans back in the day (reason why I'm a Young Avengers fan - I LOVE teen group books) - but WOW!! If there was a page to own from his run (of course, something with Phoenix wouldn't be TOO bad) this would be the $$ shot right here! Absoultely stunning page my friend! JEALOUS!! But congratulations on a fine find and is home in an already fantstic collection. Thank you very much for sharing...

Posted on 7/29/2010

Huge, huge congrats! This is just an absolutely perfect splash and definitely an image burned into my brain. You really couldn't ask for anything more!!

Posted on 7/29/2010

Gorgeous Splash!

Posted on 7/29/2010

OH! MY! GOD!

Posted on 7/29/2010

Well that's a show stopper.

Posted on 7/30/2010

Yeah I think this was worth it. Great score dude.

Posted on 7/30/2010

killer!...I mean you ..not the art. you just killed me with an hear attack!

Posted on 7/30/2010

One of the few full splashes featuring nearly the full team in the entire run. In some ways, I consider this splash to be from Byrne's best period. That period right after he became less of a Neal Adams clone and sometime before his art became perhaps a little too stylized. You can almost sense the artists' enthusiasm off the page, trying hard to make the most of the most of their big break at Marvel on a regular ongoing and popular title. Quite the impressive piece Ron, which, of course, fits right along with the rest of your quite impressive collection. Congratulations!

Posted on 8/1/2010

Awesome!! A true museum quality piece to a museum quality collection. Congrats!!

Posted on 8/8/2010

For sure one of the best Byrne X-men team shots ever!!! Many congrats Ron this is a true GEM!

Posted on 10/19/2010

Couldn't agree more to Artemis comment !!!!

Posted on 1/27/2011

One of my Best of 2010 Lowry choices... thanks for sharing! ~:)

Posted on 11/30/2011

Incredible, awesome, one of the best uncanny x-men that i have seen. All the team. Claremont + Byrne + Austin

Posted on 1/16/2012

This piece shows that you are in another level of collecting. Is unreachable for the rest of us humans.

Posted on 2/3/2012

Remember this like it was yesterday..... Stunning!!! :-)

Posted on 3/8/2012

A WONDERFUL page from a bygone era! X-cellent!!!

Posted on 10/1/2012

There are times when you see a new image post and think that you will come back to offer a comment because you do not have the time. When I saw your posting of this page to CAF back in July 2010, that was my initial thought. Now two plus years later, let me offer my congratulations as I have made the time to post. While issue 108 is Byrne's first on X-Men, issue 109 is where he set his standard with the first important villian that Chris and he created as their partnership gravitated from Marvel Premier/Iron Fist to Marvel Team-Up to Starlord to the series (X-Men) that forever cemented their legacy. Enough typing and thanks for posting.

Posted on 10/21/2012

Really love this Splash!!! Truly special and fantastic!! I hope when day to be able to be so fortunate as to be able to have something half as good!!!

Posted on 11/29/2012

Truly Uncanny! Wow!!

Posted on 2/2/2013

A childhood dream, love how Storm is represented - thanks for sharing this beauty with us.

Posted on 2/18/2013

Amazing Byrne splash.

Posted on 3/16/2013

What a fantastic full team splash! Definitely one of my favorites in your uncannily amazing incredible collection without fear!

Posted on 3/17/2013

This is THE page, for Uncanny X-Men. You get the whole team, and the names of their stellar authors. So Chapeau, and Congrats, and Spasibo - for sharing.

Posted on 3/18/2013

Can't believe I haven't commented on this before. I have to say, as impressive as this page is, my favorite thing is your modest description. It has such a "I guess this will do" attitude about it. LOL! Then again, it must be hard to muster up the excitement about a more contemporary example of art when you own so many stellar SA gems by masters like Kirby and Ditko. This must be your idea of slumming. LOL!!!!!

Posted on 3/29/2013

The best X-men splash page i've ever seen!

Posted on 5/21/2014

I am revisiting Byrne's wonderful run on X-Men; such a special read that brings me back to my earliest memories of comics. For me this era is the definitive X-Men period; the art and stories were and continue to be magical. It must be a treat to own such a great piece of comic art history.

Posted on 9/24/2015

An incredible splash! Huge Congrats!!

Posted on 2/26/2016

So, so beautiful.

Posted on 3/17/2016

Awesome page!!!!

Posted on 4/4/2016

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted on 1/15/2017

I've long admired this piece and thought for sure that with as many times as I've visited the post that I would've commented already! This is such a grail piece for Byrne X-Men fans! If I'm ever able to land a Byrne X-Men piece, I hope it has just one fraction of the coolness of yours! Congrats Ron!

Posted on 7/22/2017

Byrne's X-Men to me isthe best of the series. Love how quickly Wolverine gets rid of Fangs costume. Congrats on a great splash!

Posted on 8/13/2017

Pure perfection!

Posted on 12/17/2017

What a treat to see this Byrne/Austin X-Men splash. This run was as important to my childhood as Star Wars, and that’s saying a lot! I mention Terry Austin because as good as John was, when he’s paired with Austin it’s PURE MAGIC! Congrats on having such an outstanding example...WOW!!!

Posted on 9/8/2019

Incredible page!  I always thought the Fang costume would have been a great look on Wolverine.  Byrne obviously did not agree...

Posted on 7/22/2021

Epic page!

Posted on 10/2/2022

OUTSTANDING!!!!!

Posted on 2/13/2023

Excellent piece

Posted on 9/23/2023
