“Dark Phoenix”

"Dark Phoenix" delivers a gripping, emotionally charged chapter in the X-Men saga, as Jean Grey’s struggle with the Phoenix Force reaches a breaking point. Written by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, with dynamic art by Byrne and inks by Terry Austin, this issue captures the X-Men’s growing dread as Jean, consumed by the Dark Phoenix, turns on her teammates and vanishes toward the stars. The cover by Steve Lightle perfectly encapsulates the moment’s intensity, making this a standout in the classic run.
