"The Uncanny X-Men #317" is a modern-age superhero comic book published by Marvel Comics in October 1994.

This issue is historically significant for featuring the early appearances of several characters who would soon form the team Generation X, such as Mona (M), Husk, and Skin, highlighting the transition toward a new era of mutant storytelling. Displays teh influential "manga-inspired" art style of Joe Madureira, which defined the look of the X-Men franchise throughout the mid-90s. A key chapter in a major crossover and a precursor to the Generation X launch. Dimensions: 26 cm Pickup category timeslot {A}
