Description

Join your host Garhdo as they look at the history of the Uncanny X-Men for the 60th anniversary of these astonishing heroes. A team of mutants superheroes protecting a world that hates and fears them, the X-Men have long served as an allegory for many minority groups seeking greater civil rights, while also providing tremendous action stories as they built into a blockbuster comic franchise. How did they become so big? What stories drove their growth and influenced the medium around them? Learn the first part of that story here as Garhdo goes through the first thirty-five years of the X-Men, from their creation under Stan Lee and Jack Kirby to their growth under Chris Claremont and his collaborators to record breaking heights.
