The Uncanny X-Men #142 — VF/NM 9.0
February 1981 • Marvel Comics • Days of Future Past, Part 2 • John Byrne & Chris Claremont
The second half of one of the most important X-stories ever printed. Days of Future Past doesn’t just raise the stakes — it nukes them. Mutants are hunted to extinction, Sentinels rule the world, and the X-Men die hard in a future where hope is nearly extinct. Kitty Pryde’s mind races through time to save the past, while the Brotherhood makes its move in the present. This is the issue where Marvel went full dystopia — and didn’t blink.
John Byrne’s cold, brutal future and Claremont’s emotional wrecking ball of a script make this a peak Bronze Age key. A cornerstone book, whether you’re building an X-wall or just want one of the heaviest reads Marvel ever produced.
Maj. Picto’s Grading Notes (9.0 / VF–NM)
Glossy cover with beautiful color saturation and strong whites. Light corner ticks only, no major spine stress, and no creasing through color. Edges are sharp with minimal shelf wear. Interior pages are white to off-white, clean and flat. Tight, bright copy with serious shelf presence — punches above its grade.
