Two Jim Lee Original Artwork X-Men Pages With Storm Up For Auction
Jim Lee may be Chief Creative Officer and Publisher of DC Comics these days and be a founder of Image Comics and creator of WildStorm, but deep in his heart, he knows he will always be best known for his work on X-Men at Marvel Comics. And two pages of his original X-Men artwork are up for auction from Heritage in their lot. One page from his classic Uncanny X-Men run written by Chris Claremont with Storm in the yellow and black, fighting alongside the Starjammers. While the second is a new scene from Classic X-Men with an earlier look for Storm and Wolverine.

Storm faces the Starjammers to save the life of Banshee on this extraordinary page by comics icon Jim Lee. This was the last issue of his straight run on the title. He would do only two more issues (#280 and 286) before leaving to co-found Image Comics in 1992.
