Whenever I think longingly of my X-Men of yore, I always go back to Uncanny X-men #308. It's Thanksgiving at 1407 Graymalkin Lane, Salem Center, Westchester County, New York. Outside the leaves are falling. The X-Men are enjoying an innocent game of football. Fun and fantastic, at the same time.
...Family. (I'm misting up, just thinking about it.)


The X-Men a la Norman Rockwell. Ah, times were simpler back then.
