#67 - #93

[chronicboredom]

Sorry fi this is a stupid question, or has been asked a million times before. But I was wondering whether there are actual issues filling the gap between X-Men and Uncanny X-Men?
This website shows a lot more issues between and that uncanny x-men started at #141? I didn't think that was right =S

I'm completely confused now, lol. =)
Thanks for your help in advance x

For a long while the X-men were no longer financially viable so they stopped writing new stories and just did reprints. Eventually they got, the then young gun, Claremont to write at 94 and since then it has been all new stuff.

[chronicboredom]

So were they reprints of issues #1 - #66 then?

[Flâneur]

67 - 93 contained reprints of various stories from that run, yes. If you want the full run down, it's all in the wikipedia article for Uncanny X-men.

[TheRealOblivion]

There was a series called X-Men: The Lost Years that filled in some of that time peroid.

The series was called X-Men: The Hidden Years, and filled in most of the gap. It filled in #67-88. But was cancelled before it could finish.

The name Uncanny X-Men began with #114, but new stories had been coming since #94. It was titled All-New, All-Different X-Men from #94-141.

The title when from All New, All Different X-Men to Uncanny X-Men with Uncanny X-Men #114:

Not sure if digging up an archived thread is frowned upon here at comicbookresources, but...

I've read uncanny x-men #1-66, and the wiki page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_X-Men#1970.E2.80.931975_.28The_Reprint_Years.29) on it states things that i don't remember happening in the first 66 issues.

i thought a reprint was basically a copy of the original, just re-published ?

What you linked to is a run-down of everything the X-Men did in other comics while their own title was just doing reprints.

[The Mask]

really ?
hmm, too bad they don't say which comics,
i'd like to read them.

[the4thpip]

The Sentinels story in Avengers 102-105 comes to mind, it's the sequel to some of the Neal Adams issues. Also Avengers 110.
And Ice-Man and Angel joined the Champions while Beast became an Avenger.

141 was when the title in the insignia changed to Uncanny X-Men. That is what some sites go by.

I had the exact same doubt a while ago, when I started reading X-Men from issue #1. The truth is the X-Men publication history is a mess. Here's some help.


X-Men Series

First thing you need to now is that the first title (vol 1) was called X-Men from #1 to #113, but then changed to Uncanny X-Men with issue #114. And it remained the same until today.

Then a second series started (vol 2) simply called X-Men - which also change it’s name from X-Men (#1 - #113), to New X-Men (#114 - #156), to X-Men again (#157 - #207), to X-Men Legacy (#208 - ).

And now a third X-Men book is out (vol 3), which is called simply X-Men.


So now we have 3 X-Men titles:

-First title (vol 1): Uncanny X-Men (X-Men #1- #113, Uncanny X-Men #114 – now)

- Second title (vol 2): X-Men Legacy (X-Men #1-#113, New X-Men #114-#156, X-Men #156-207, X-Men Legacy #208 – now)

- Third title (vol 3): simply X-Men, 7 issues until now.


Uncanny X-Men GAP

The Uncanny GAP is complicated too. Issues #67 to #93 only contained reprints of various stories from previous issues. So from #66 you must read Giant Size X-Men and then #94, and then continue with Uncanny.

Thing is between those reprint years the X-Men made several appearances in other books. During this GAP Beast became the blue Beast we now know and join the Avengers, Angel and Iceman join another superhero team, Havok and Polaris went living together, etc. See link below from uncannyxmen.net to see all of the appearances.

Also, in 1999 a series was published called X-Men: The Hidden Years, which takes place between the GAP. It was planned to last the same amount of issues the X-Men were being reprinted, but lasted only 22 issues.


So, between the GAP we have all of the X-Men appearances in other titles and X-Men: The Hidden Years (#1 -#22).


Uncannyxmen.net is a great page which has super detailed articles (with specific issues and summaries) on both topics: the gap and the publication history.

Hope it helps!

Marvel Masterworks: X-Men Volumes 7 & 8 collect the Non-Uncanny appearances between the titles.

Marvel Masterworks: X-Men Volumes 7 & 8 collect the Non-Uncanny appearances between the titles.

Essential Uncanny X-Men volume 3 also contains some (but not all) of them. I think it has the Beast solo stories and a few others, but not the Angel solo 3-parter, the Captain America appearances, etc.

Great link! Very informative, though it does leave out the Angel solo story from Ka-Zar #2-3 and Marvel Tales #30. Not sure where the placement of that one would be (the stories were published in 1970-71).

A valuable tool for sorting appearances chronologically is the Marvel Chronology Project.

It's only slight drawback is that some of the title abbreviations are not too obvious.....It's not been kept fully up to date but I think most X-Characters are listed to somewhere in The Uncanny X-Men 400's

Thanks. Uncannyxmen.net is a great site for all things/doubts about the X-Men. Timelines, confusing storylines, characters, races, places, runs, etc. You're right, haven't notice they left out Angel's story. But is a great summary, most complete one I've seen. Wiki also has a small summery about the "Reprint Years" : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_X-Men#1970.E2.80.931975_.28The_Reprint_Years.29 , but uncannyxmen.net is better.

And Ice-Man and Angel joined the Champions while Beast became an Avenger.

Steve Englehart's classic Captain America: The Secret Empire features Charles Xavier and the X-Men as guest stars. It's one of those major Marvel storylines that gets referenced a lot, and you can really feel the influence of Englehart's run on Brubaker's current Cap series. It's also available in Essential Captain America, vol. 4.

Just wanted to say,
