Description

🔥 The first full appearance of Phoenix — the transformation that would ignite the Dark Phoenix Saga — in Cockrum’s extraordinary exclusive foil form — the Unknown Comics exclusive FOIL variant for the X-Men #101 facsimile (2023), the landmark 1976 issue that introduced Phoenix, with a Dave Cockrum exclusive cover in premium foil finish. X-Men #101 (October 1976, Chris Claremont/Dave Cockrum) is one of the most pivotal issues in the X-Men’s publishing history — the issue in which Jean Grey, sacrificing herself to pilot the X-Men’s shuttle through a deadly radiation storm, is transformed by the cosmic Phoenix Force into a being of extraordinary power. Her emergence from Jamaica Bay as Phoenix — “Rokk! I’m ALIVE!” — is one of the most celebrated dramatic moments in X-Men history, the first chapter of a story that would build through #102–#137 into the Dark Phoenix Saga, widely considered the greatest X-Men storyline ever told. Dave Cockrum drew X-Men #101 — and now creates an exclusive cover for its facsimile. The artist who drew Jean Grey’s Phoenix transformation returning to that issue with a contemporary exclusive interpretation in the premium foil format is one of the most meaningful creator-exclusive moments in Unknown Comics’s facsimile program. The foil finish amplifies the visual impact of Cockrum’s cover with metallic dimensionality appropriate to a transformation by cosmic fire. 🔥 A Cockrum FOIL exclusive for the first appearance of Phoenix is a cornerstone piece for any Claremont-era X-Men collector.

This is the X-Men #101 Facsimile Dave Cockrum Exclusive FOIL Variant — the Unknown Comics exclusive foil for the 2023 X-Men #101 facsimile, first full appearance of Phoenix.

Return shipping we sort out between us, case by case. I don't make this difficult.
