Anyone encyclopedic enough to know which comic the meeting Jean talks about takes place?

The last time I recall Jean Grey meeting the Fantastic Four "on panel" before "Uncanny X-Men" #101 would probably be in the "Avengers" when Yellowjacket married the Wasp ("Avengers" #60?).
Unless you count "X-Men: The Hidden Years," natch.

That's a lot earlier than I would have guessed. Seems like they would have stumbled across each other's path in Marvel Team-Up or somesuch. Of course, I don't have any particulars in mind so you're probably closer to the mark than me.

Remember, before the X-MEN became Marvel's biggest cash cow, the team were very much "outsiders". You could just about count all their pre-100 appearances in other titles without running out of fingers.

Andy, I was trying to think of an early-mid-Seventies meeting between the X-Men and the Fantastic Four, but I can't think of any offhand. Remember, the original X-Men's title was in a period of reprint for several years, and the X-Men only popped up occassionally in other titles at that time.
From roughly 1968 to 1975 I can't think of a story where the X-Men WITH Jean met up with the Fantastic Four outside of the issue of "The Avengers" I cited. The X-Men guest-starred in "Marvel Team-Up" (with Spider-Man), "Captain America," and later issues of "The Avengers," and a few members (not Jean) popped up in "The Incredible Hulk." I don't remember Jean being present in "Giant-Size Fantastic Four" #3 (I think that was the issue), when Jamie Maddrox first appeared.

Iron Fist #15 and the last issue of Marvel Team-Up are what pop into my head as possibilites. I can't actually think of a time when the X-Men(Phoenix) pal'd around with the FF.

JB, as I was typing and checking on issues at the shop, JB basically made a point I mentioned. Heh.

Matt, I'm glad I don't have your memory. I get to re-read my comics periodically and enjoy things that I'd forgotten. Sheesh. Amazing.

"Iron Fist" #15 would've been Phoenix, not Jean. That is Jean speaking in the panel from JB's "Fantastic Four" story. The last issue of "Marvel Team-Up" featured Rachel, not Jean and/or the original Phoenix.
Edited for clarity.

LOL! The thing is, I used to be better at remembering everything, including exact numbers. I am getting too old.
Edited to add: And another thing that hinders me as I grow older is that I don't re-read stories too often. Most of the comics I read I only read once when I first bought them.

That's why I pretty much quit buying too much new stuff. I've got 30+ short boxes full of comics and bookcases full of paperbacks, novels, etc. that I won't ever get to, much less re-read. Buying weekly books quickly get's out of hand in terms of storage. I love 'em but the wallet and the square footage just isn't there.

Thanks for sharing those original pages, guys. I'd love to have a copy of that issue done as JB intended.
