The comic was originally released under the name “ X-Men, ” but since October 1978, starting at No. 114, it was renamed “Uncanny X-Men.” And when the X-Men series resumed in October 1991, both comics began to appear in parallel.
The series was created by Stan Lee and Jack Curby , was greeted coolly, and was nearly canceled in 1970. Interest was renewed in 1975 by the Giant-Size X-Men special issue with the debut of the new team. Under the leadership of David Cochrum and Chris Clairmont, thanks to whose 16-year stay, from August 1975 (Uncanny X-Men # 94) to 1991 (Uncanny X-Men # 279), the series grew in popularity around the world, eventually giving rise to franchises with numerous X-book spin-offs, including New Mutants , X-Factor , Excalibur , X-Force , Generation X , with the simple name New X-Men , Astonishing X-Men , Essential X-Men and All -New X-Men .

Publication History
1963-1970
Created by screenwriter and editor Stan Lee and artist Jack Curby , the series, launched in September 1963, [1] [2] introduces the original five X-Men ( Angel , the Beast , Cyclops , Aisman , and Wonder Girl ) and their teachers, Professor X , as well as their sworn enemy, supervillain Magneto . [3] Originally published twice a month, it became monthly from # 14 (November 1965). The Lee series lasted 19 episodes, and featured the X-Men fighting villains such as the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants Magneto, which included the Scarlet Witch and Mercury ; [4] Guardians are giant robots programmed to destroy all mutants and their creator Bolivar Trask; and Juggernaut , Xavier's half-brother transformed by a mystical gem and seeking revenge for Xavier. The series was placed firmly in the Marvel Universe , with guest appearances at Namor at # 6 and Avengers at # 9. Jungle adventure hero Ka-Zar and Wildland were featured in issue # 10. [5] Roy Thomas wrote a series from 20 # (May 1966) to # 44 (May 1968). Thomas and artist Werner Roth created the Banshees in # 28 (January 1967). [6] In issue # 42 (March 1968), the comic took a dramatic step by killing Professor X, while making his death permanent. [7] [8] The X-Men # 45 (June 1968) showed the crossover with The Avengers # 53 (June 1968). [9] [10] After a short period of work, Gary Friedrich and Arnold Drake - the last of which introduced the new X-Men to Lorna Dane [11] and Havok , [12] and, during which the series adopted a new logo designed by Jim Steranco, Thomas returned to series with # 55 and joined the artist Neil Adams and the next issue to launch the sensational plot. [13] Screenwriter Dennis O'Neill and Adams revived Professor Xavier in # 65, showing that it was actually Xavier the impostor named Werewolf who died in issue # 42. [14] After the fight with the Hulk in issue # 66 ( March 1970), [15] ceased to publish the source material and began to publish reprints in issues from # 67 (December 1970) to # 93 (June 1975).
1975-1991
X-Men were resumed in May 1975 at " Giant-Size X-Men " # 1, by Len Wayne and Dave Kokrum. [16] The series was distinguished by a new, international team consisting of Cyclops , Banshee , Sunfire and Wolverine , along with the new characters Storm , Night Serpent , Colossus and Petrel . The original plan was to continue the Giant-Size X-Men quarterly, but the original stories were printed in Uncanny , again every two months. [8] The first release of Chris Clairmont, as a screenwriter, was # 94. All of the original X-Men went away with Sunfire; The petrel was killed at # 95. [17] Moira Maktagert , an ally of the X-Men and ex-bride Xavier, made her debut at # 96. Wonder Girl became the Phoenix at # 101. [18] This was followed by the first story of the Shi'ar space opera . Kokrum was replaced by the artist John Byrne with # 108. [19] Byrne became a co-plotter and the series again began to appear monthly. [8] For the remainder of the decade, X-Men battle enemies such as Stephen Lang and his Sentinels, Magneto, Black Tom - Banshee's cousin, Juggernaut, Eric the Red, Shi'ar Imperial Guard, Arcade, former Wolverine colleagues, Canada's superheroes team Squad Alpha [20] and Proteus - the son of Moira Maktagert. In 2010, Comics Bulletin takes Clermont and Byrne to work on The X-Men , second in the Top 10 1970s Marvels. [21]
In 1980, “The Dark Phoenix Saga” led to a change in the composition of the team with the death of Phoenix (Gina Gray), [22] and Cyclops, who left the team to mourn her. Roy Thomas and Peter Sanderson, screenwriter and comic book historian, have noted that The Dark Phoenix Saga is the same for Clermont and Byrne as the Galactus Trilogy for Stan Lee and Jack Kerby.
