X-Day is a day of celebration for all fans of the Marvel X-Books. It was
first celebrated on September 23, 1996 - the 33rd anniversary of the day
that the first issue of The X-Men was published. Josh Wheeler had
the idea to celebrate this historic occassion with a competition for all
X-Fans in cyber-space.
To celebrate this date and to show their appreciation for the X-Books, Josh
asked all X-Fans to find a creative way of demonstrating their enjoyment of
the X-Books to the general public. Then he requested that they submit it to
him, so that it would be posted on the internet for all the world to see.

The 1996
X-Day submissions came in the form of poems, fanfiction, fanart and
websites devoted to the comic-cause. One person even submitted a
catalogue of all his X-Comic books.

Josh has been unable to host the
X-Day festivities since then, but the X-Day spirit lives on in many of the
people who have enjoyed it so much. Some decided to hold the second and
third annual X-Day festivites and as such requested submissions both for
the non-competitive celebration and for the X-Day competiton. Previous
years' submissions can be viewed by clicking the links below.
