The original Gil Kane version of this cover had the Outcast as villain, but it was rejected by the Comics Code. The Juggernaut's face and figure, perhaps a Werner Roth stat with Romita touch-ups, replaced the Outcast and the Iceman was added for the published cover. Information provided and updated by Nick Caputo.
The original indexer credited John Tartaglione as inker.
The original, uncensored, cover can be seen in the bonus features section of X-Men Omnibus, The (Marvel, 2009 series) #2.
Sources for letters credit are The Marvel Comics Index (Olshevsky 1981), The Official Marvel Index to the X-Men (Olshevsky 1987), and The Official Marvel Index to the X-Men (Ward 1994).
