Uncanny X-Men #218, 1987

And omg a Brigadier cameo! Claremont is a Doctor Who fan, then…

thismomentsforwomenincomics:

This issue shows four X-Men—Psylocke, Dazzler, Longshot, and Rogue—working together to take down the Juggernaut AND stop a train crash.  The fact that three fourths of the heroes in this issue are female is a non-issue.  That’s what I liked most about Claremont-era X-Men: the ratio of men to women was fairly evenly balanced.  Women were respected, important members of the team, and their gender had no bearing on their status.

(Writer: Chris Claremont; artist: Mark Silvestri)
