The X-Men (vol. 1) #43 (Apr. 1968): "The Torch Is Passed...!":
Prof. X (taped message): "And now, I've no time left... for I have just learned the location of the sinister Sub-Human known as Grotesk, and must try to stop him before he destroys the entire planet! If I fail... or if I should perish in my attempt... this brief film will say what I myself could not! And now, farewell, my X-Men!"
Note: X-Men attend the funeral of Charles Xavier (actually Changeling), who died in the previous issue at the hands of Grotesk.
