Comic panels taken out of comics so we can make fun of them!! We love the golden age stuff!

Rules:

  1. Comics must come from actual comic books. No AI or Photoshops.

  2. Single panels are preferred.

  3. Comics should be unintentionally funny. Spider-man cracking wise is not what this is about.

  4. Don't be a dick.

  5. I can't believe I've had to add this... NO RACISM.

You sure about that decade?

I think so, got this screenshot from early in Claremont's Uncanny run, which started in 1975. I recently read a comic from later in that run which was from mid 1981, and I feel like that one was at least 18 issues after the one I got this from.

The art does look more like Byrne than Cockrum, but Wolverine also had his brown costume later in Byrne's run in the '80s, so if I had to place a bet, I would say '70s.

Byrne began drawing X-men in 1977 (Uncanny X-men #108), and the brown suit was introduced in #139 (nov 1980) so 70s is definitely your best bet here. (This is 100% a Byrne panel.)

Edit: I had a hunch and found the issue, it's from #125 september 1979, page 6 ("The perils of the Danger Room!").

Whew, that was close! I knew something about Wolverine's hairless arms were disco

1963 to present, according to the ‘pedia of Wiki. Yikes. I was surprised to see it went back that far.

Yep, X-Men is a Kirby/Lee original, although it wasn't too popular until Claremont revitalized it and created most of the x-lore we know today.
