X-Men 48

The next issue focuses on Marvel Girl and Cyclops. The issue starts off with Jean Grey in a bikini shoot.

Ho-hum. Don Heck and Werner Roth on the art chores. Very good artists these but those bikini panels in the hands of John Buscema or Gene Colan would have been absolutely fetching.

Art is ok but Arnold Drake's script is really off. Look at this characterization of Scott. All wrong!

The pair comes up against a bunch of robots. It's great to sea Jean's power showing some potency - too often she's been portrayed just lifting stuff.
