In late 1992, on small budgets and under tight schedules, the cast and crew of X-Men: The Animated Series crafted a television show that, despite an industry full of naysayers, immediately shot to #1. This "kids' show" often landed more than half the TV viewers across America, and a twenty-year gold rush of Marvel motion pictures and TV series followed. X-Men: the art and making of the animated series is Eric Lewald's personal, inside account of how the series got on the air, the many challenges that were overcome, and how the show prevailed.
