COMIC BOOK COVERS THAT REFLECT THE CLASSIC COVER FOR GIANT-SIZE X-MEN 1

In 1975, Marvel Comics introduced their readers to a new version of the X-Men by publishing an oversized comic book showcasing the team's debut. The comic is called, 'Giant-Size X-Men' #1, and it sports a very memorable cover illustrated by the artists, Gil Kane and Dave Cockrum, which depicts the titular team leaping through the comic book page, while behind them, there's an image of the team's previous incarnation, looking rather surprised. In fact, the aforementioned cover has become so memorable, that since its release, a number of other artists have drawn similar comic book covers in order to match its veracity.
