Mid-Century Marvels: X-Men

The first comic book characters that I enjoyed growing were Superman and Batman. It wasn't until I was a pre-teen that I found the awesomeness of the X-Men. There was Spidey, and good ol' Captain Ace, but the first comic books I read were the X-Men, drawn by the great Jim Lee. I'll admit, Fox Kid's X-Men on at 10 am Saturday mornings helped, heck that animated show put them on the map for me. Wolverine, forever being my favorite, and my biggest crush, Jubilee. 

Eventually I'll do a fan art of these X-Men, but I gotta give props to the originals, Cyclops, Iceman, The Beast, The Angel, Marvel Girl and the main man Profesor X. 

 

This is the quick sketch I drew up in procreate.
