In January, 1981, Marvel Comics published issue one hundred and forty-one of 'The Uncanny X-Men' comic book. Or as the fans commonly call it, part one of the 'Days of Future Past' two-part storyline. The comic in question sports a very memorable cover illustrated by the artist, John Byrne, which depicts two members of the team from an alternate timeline, namely, an aging version of Wolverine and an adult version of Kitty Pryde, standing in front of a wall that's illuminated by a spotlight and adorned with a selection of wanted posters denoting the status of some of their fellow mutants. In fact, since its release, the aforementioned comic book cover has become so memorable, that many other artists have drawn similar covers that reflect its veracity. Want to know more? Then please check out the following image gallery featuring some of these covers. Enjoy.
