Hey question

Did anyone read this or was it just me

Pietro: Sorry! In the middle of something -- Can't stop for too long!!

Forge: He's twice as bad after he's had caffeine.

The discussion about Wanda's ever-changing appearance made me curious if I could remember the first example of Pietro not being colored with the same skin tone as the white characters. Obviously, there are all kinds of examples of colorists giving everyone a, let's say, healthy glow, but I was interested in finding the first instance where he is indisputably not colored the same as the white characters, and I believe (though, someone can correct me if they find an earlier example) that the answer is X-Men: Misfits. Which is kinda funny because this is a black and white comic.

This isn't important to the overall argument. I was just wondering, as a matter of historical record.

(And yes, that is Forge. Everyone in this comic is a shoujo prettyboy.)

Pietro: There you are! What are you doing here?

Kitty: Oh, hey, Quick--

Pietro: Members of the Hellfire Club don't eat lunch in the cafeteria! Magneto set us up with an exclusive dining room down the hall.

BTW, this comic? Pretty freakin' cute.
