Marvel Masterworks: The X-Men, Vol. 1 by Stan Lee
3.0
All due respect to Stan Lee as an innovator and master marketer in comics but his writing was cheesy as hell. Comics have come a long way since these first issues of the X-Men in the 1960s. The tone is terribly sexist most of the time, with Jean Grey being ogled by every man on every page.
This is an interesting read if only to see where the X-Men started but the series would rise to much greater heights under later writers and artists. This stuff is mostly worth reading for it's historical value.
