Not to take anything away from Chris that he truly deserves, but this writer, like so many others*, overlooks the radical changes that occurred in the industry in the late Seventies and early Eighties.
When Dave and I were working on it, (UNCANNY) X-MEN was a cult book. Sales rose, slowly but steadily, but the coming of the Direct Sales Market and the speculators changed that. Especially when Paul Smith came aboard, which created a perfect storm of artist/shop orders/speculators. Before he’d drawn a line, Smitty was being hailed as the Mutant Messiah and shop owners/managers and speculators flocked to the call.
Once that fire got started, it did not go out until the speculator bubble popped."

Paul Smith is such an underrated GOAT. remind me to rep you, because his run was underrated.
According to John Byrne, the Paul Smith era is when Uncanny started really blowing up in terms of sales.
Paul Smith started drawing the book in 1983, during the Brood storyline. (Uncanny 165)
And that's not to neglect the fact that Jim Lee's X-men #1 remains the bestselling issue of any comic to this day.

My fav will always be Astonishing X-Men where Scott was like "I want this thing off my lawn"My favorite destruction of Sentinels/Master Mold from the OG series is when the SSN 1 finale where Xavier pops back in the battle revealing he stocked up the blackbird full of "TNT" and "Gas" and flew straight into Master Mold.
Also, my favorite bodying of Sentinels from the comic is back in the Roy Thomas/Neil Adams era where Cyclops convinced the Sentinels that all mutation stems from solar radiation so they all fly off to fight the sun and melt in it.
