Classic X-Men #23
In "Psi War," the X-Men, stranded at sea, are rescued by a Japanese vessel, leading Professor Xavier to recall a pivotal moment from his past—his first encounter with Storm, then a thief in Cairo, and their clash with the enigmatic Shadow King. Written by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, with art by Byrne and Kieron Dwyer, and featuring inks by Terry Austin, this issue blends memory and mystery with a haunting atmosphere. The cover by Arthur Adams captures the tension with striking, dynamic detail.
