X-Men Archives Sketchbook #1 (Marvel Comics 2000) sketchbook

Unlock a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the X-Men with a 32-page treasure from Marvel’s archives. This special sketchbook marks a milestone anniversary by opening access to the files formerly kept tucked away in the X‑Men offices, turning decades of unused designs and artwork into a reviewable, collectible experience.

What’s inside shines with insider-only material: alternate designs by Jim Lee, variant costumes by Art Adams, and the original New Mutant character sheets—including the very first version of Cannonball. In addition, you’ll find sketches and designs from a stellar roster of artists who helped shape the X‑Men era: Rob Liefeld, Leinil Yu, Alan Davis, Paul Neary, Bob McLeod, Carlos Pacheco, Marc Silvestri, John Romita Jr., Adam Pollina, Barry Windsor-Smith, and Michael Golden.

Beyond the art, this release captures the rare bounty that only a select few editors and creators had the privilege to see—and now it’s your turn to explore the evolution of iconic characters and looks that defined an era.

Format: 32 pages, with ads. Printed copy. Cover price: $2.99.
