Issue Notes
Because of a long and very tight story in UXM through 1982 and well into 1983, the appearance of members of the X-Men in the issue seems out of place. Marvel's official explanation is that this issue takes place in between pages on UXM #161 ( (after Xavier woke up but prior to the Dinner at Lilllandra's & team being knocked out). Clearly some editorial confusion with the location/availability of the X-Men.
