X-Men: The Hidden Years is a comic book series in the Marvel Comics universe starring the company's popular superhero team the X-Men. It was written John Byrne with illustrations by Byrne and Tom Palmer.
The series attempted to fill in the period in the late 1960s and early 1970s when the original X-Men comic was publishing only reprints of earlier issues. It features the cast of the original X-Men and their villains, with a few appearances by characters who had not otherwise appeared at that point in time, such as Storm.
The series was originally conceived to run 27 issues, one issue for every reprint issue of the original series (#67-93), but was cancelled after only 17 issues, despite still being profitable. Marvel's editor-in-chief at the time, Joe Quesada, cited the series as one of the more extraneous X-Men spinoffs, and cancelled it, along with several other X-Men franchise titles, in an effort to streamline Marvel's output. This cancellation may have helped Byrne decide to no longer work for Marvel Comics.
