The Xavier School has a new headmaster: Roy Thomas! Stan Lee's right-hand man, Roy took mutantkind on wild new adventures as he cut his teeth as a scripter of superhero sagas. These early adventures come from the time when Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Angel and Iceman were a quirky quintet of teenagers together against the world. Across ten issues you'll see them confront a host of villains - from Count Nefaria and his henchmen, to the Locust and the Aztec-inspired Kukulcan! You'll also witness the first appearance of mainstay X-Man Banshee and read the rare stories when a sixth mutant member, the Mimic, joined Professor X's squad! Collecting X-MEN (1963) #20-29.

The original X-Men - Cyclops, Beast, Angel, Iceman and Marvel Girl - star in uncanny adventures that brought the first era of mutant mayhem to a close! This Omnibus is filled with milestones - from the team's new costumes and the death of Professor X to the first appearances of Havok, Polaris and Sunfire! But when Roy Thomas united with Neal Adams, the writer and artist produced one of the most amazing evolutions in Marvel history! These two titanic talents brought the X-Men in sync with the thriving youth culture of the late '60s. Adams' lavish and dynamic visuals merged with Thomas' challenging and contemporary stories to create a series that throbbed with the pulse of the times like no other!
