Plus Werner Roth's art is so so, he drew a beatiful Jean Grey, but when it comes to action scenes he lacked the raw and power that a Jack Kirby or even a Romita provided to their mags. I think there are also some Don Heck issues that are very mediocre.

I guess my tolerance for goofiness is pretty high in superhero comics (though not without limits), and those books stayed within bounds. I also like these books for the large number of minor original villains introduced who have had a fair amount of staying power (e.g. Wizard, Trapster, Whirlwind).I absolutely hated the Roy Thomas-Werner Roth X-Men, though, and thought the Neal Adams period was only okay (vastly superior in relative terms, but not so great on the merits).Addendum: I read the entire RT-WR run anyway because of my obsession with continuity, but it was kind of like going to the dentist.
