Bill Sienkiewicz 1984: The New Mutants #21 Color: Glynis Wein
Claremont and Sienkiewicz bring Warlock to earth against the backdrop of a student slumber party in this double-sized issue.
I’ve been reading some New Mutant comics from the ’80s, the ones Chris Claremont wrote. They’re pretty dated in terms of art and writing, but I LOVE the stories. They’re so fun! One I just read: Kitty Pryde gets kidnapped by the Hellfire Club, so the New Mutants, because they’re kids, call the adult superheroes for help, but the adults are all off away on other stuff because of Plot. So the kids go to help, but oh noes! They can’t fly a plane, and a bunch of teenagers driving a fancy car is deemed too likely to attract the wrong kind of attention. So they go to the bus station and buy bus tickets to go save Kitty. I DIED. Best story ever. Anyway, looking forward to the Bill Sienkiewicz stories, which I’ve heard are just the best.

I had forgotten that Kitty wasn’t the only X-Man who had a “fairy tale” issue. Sienkiewicz certainly brings a flavor you won’t find in many other children’s story books — that cab’s probably not in danger of being mistaken for a character from Cars.

The final issue of X-Factor is only days away! I'll be posting a lot of X-Factor related stuff to commemorate the series.
