It may surprise many to know that the X-Men nearly had an animated series during the eighties. As early as their cameos in Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends, Marvel Productions were doing their best to get a series launched, but there was little interest in the characters! JON TALPUR wrote a fantastic article for issue six and I had recently discovered the awesome artwork of THE FRANCHIZE! There was a superb piece in his gallery which had Wolverine and some X-Men just behind him. I asked him to re-illustrate the piece, but reflecting the characters as they appeared in the Amazing Friends series. And he did!
