Indexer Notes

Story takes place directly after The Uncanny X-Men (Marvel, 1981 series) #244; Gateway speaks in this story for the only time in memory. Per Error Report #2490 by Christopher Matusiak, he notes that at a comic convention Chris Claremont, Joe Rubinstein and Jim Fern all stated that Claremont wrote the story Jubilation Day under the pseudonym of Sally Pashkow as a personal joke. This is why the name never appears again in comics.
