the bestselling single-issue comic book of the modern era, to create
all of the art for a new set of 105 trading cards—a set that would go on
to become one of the most celebrated in Marvel history and the gold
standard for non-sports trading-card artwork and design. Lee was the
first artist to create all of the original artwork for a Marvel card
set; his dynamic character portraits, battle scenes, team shots, and
innovative nine-card Danger Room puzzle cards helped fuel both the ’90s
boom of comic-book trading cards and the general public’s mania for all
things X-Men. Fans of the chart-topping comics could turn to the cards
for further insight into their favorite characters, as Marvel writers
and editors included bios, stats, and trivia for each hero and villain. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:medium;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:medium;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><b><i><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The Uncanny X-Men Trading Cards: The Complete Series</span></i></b><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> (Abrams
