X-Men #106 – First Appearance of the Entity – Dave Cockrum Cover – Marvel Comics, August 1977
The darkness within Professor X: This original X-Men #106, published by Marvel Comics in August 1977, features the first appearance of the Entity, a manifestation of Charles Xavier’s darker nature. Featuring a Dave Cockrum cover, this Bronze Age issue brings a psychological threat into the world of Marvel’s mutant heroes.
Old teammates become dangerous opponents: In “Dark Shroud of the Past!”, a Danger Room workout turns into a confrontation with versions of the original X-Men. Written by Chris Claremont and Bill Mantlo, with artwork by Dave Cockrum, Bob Brown, and Tom Sutton, the story pits the newer team against familiar faces controlled by a sinister force.
A collectible from the early new-team era: The dramatic cover places Cyclops in the foreground as Angel attacks his teammates, capturing the issue’s unsettling conflict. This original 30¢ cover-price copy offers a collecting opportunity for fans of Professor X, Dave Cockrum, and the formative years of the All-New, All-Different X-Men.
