Emma Frost is hands down my favorite female character. Bold, beautiful, brutally honest and unapologetic she knows exactly who she is and exactly what she
wants. This volume is dedicated to her and will give any reader a clear picture of who she is and what motivates her.
Now here is where I get creative. For the issues marked as partial I only used pages that related to her and Scott (Cyclops) Summers. In instances where there was an unrelated story page I spray glued over it with the next story page I wanted to show. Needless to say it was a lot of work. In hindsight I probably should have scanned and printed all the pages I wanted to use. I’ll give a brief description of why I included a certain issue. If something comes to mind that you think I should have included due let me know.

Now that I think about it there was a good Emma/Ice Man interaction in Uncanny X-Men 331. All the pages can be cut out without sharing any story with the rest of the issue.
If people also want specifics of what pages I included let me know and I’ll see if I can work out a system to describe them.
how’d this turn out? I’m really interested in reading it. What were the specifics for it? I’m thinking of maybe doing something like this for Nightcrawler as well.
It turned out really good! It was a lot of work but you almost cannot tell which pages were glued together if it wasn’t for the thickness of the page.
I did make one mistake, I put all the Emma Frost story arc covers together. Because the paper for the covers are so thick (especially when glued together) they stand straight up once you get close.
Lesson learned. One day I’m going see if I can recreate this bind using trades since I have singles, trades and hardcovers of Morrison’s run.
yeah, i’ve been having a hard time tracking down X-Men Classic 34. i’m also beginning a project of tackling one for Wolverine.
My LCS should have it in $1 bin. I’ll try searching for you this weekend. The bins are not alphabetized…
okay thanks. yeah, im kinda interested in doing a project like this for Wolverine and maybe Nightcrawler (for my friend who’s a big Nightcrawler fan)
