“The Gentleman's Name is Magneto”

In "The Gentleman's Name is Magneto," the X-Men arrive at Muir Island expecting a routine check-in—only to find Eric the Red has restored Magneto to full adulthood, stirring up tension and setting off a storm of unease, especially for Maggie. Written by Chris Claremont and brought to life with dynamic art by Dave Cockrum, this 1987 classic blends political intrigue with personal stakes, all framed by Arthur Adams’ striking cover and Al Williamson’s sharp inks.
