Foreword by Edward Piskor In 1992, Marvel Entertainment commissioned Jim Lee the young superstar penciller behind X - Men (1991) #1, 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.
