--Marvel 'bows to' readers 'demands' and gives Namor his own series.....In this format,he actually shares the title with Hulk.....Both characters have an individual story taking up half the book....I wasn't a surprise to see Namor getting his own title after seeing the number of guest appearances he had in Marvel titles over the last few years.

CREATORS:W:Stan Lee/P:Jack Kirby & 'Jay Gavin'/I:Joe Sinnott
UncannyX-men.net Issue Summary:http://www.uncannyxmen.net/db/issues...sp?fldAuto=206



--Xavier and The X-Men again show their limitations after their confrontation with The Stranger two issues back....They have to rely on help from Human Torch to take The Juggernaut down,although his help is essentially just blinding him to allow the X-men to take him out.....The threat of Juggernaut is very well realised and the X-men do seem in mortal danger which heightens the tension.....Part of an amazing run on this title.
--Werner Roth debuts on this title,although he is credited as Jay Gavin on this issue.....For me,Roth is the definitive artist on the O5 run---Nice!
