Until 2011, Uncanny X-Men remained Marvel Comics' only Silver Age title to retain its consecutive issue numbering since its conception, even during the early 1970s reprint hiatus. The Amazing Spider-Man, The Avengers, Fantastic Four and other legacy titles have all, at one time or another, restarted their numbering at #1, though later all returned to their original numbering. The final issue to be published under the original numbering was #544, published in October 2011, which was followed by a new #1 in November.
From issue #1 through #93 the indicia title was The X-Men. After the relaunch with issue #94, and up to #141, the article The was dropped from the indicia title, making it X-Men. Beginning with issue #142, and up to #407, the article was re-added along with the adjective "Uncanny" to change the indicia title to The Uncanny X-Men. Issue #408 was the first to use the indicia title Uncanny X-Men.
A separate series, titled simply X-Men, launched with an October 1991 cover date. From that point, fans and historians began to designate pre-1991 issues as The X-Men or, more commonly, The Uncanny X-Men.
