Classic X-Men #9

In "Like a Phoenix from the Ashes!", the X-Men crash-land in Jamaica Bay, where Jean Grey emerges from the wreckage transformed—her return marked by the unmistakable presence of the Phoenix. With Professor X sending most of the team to Scotland for a much-needed break, the X-Men arrive at Banshee’s ancestral castle, only to discover it’s already home to his cousin Tom and his unlikely companion, the Juggernaut. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Dave Cockrum with art by Tom Morgan, inks by Frank Chiaramonte and Sam Grainger, and colors by Michele Wrightson, this pivotal 1987 issue features a striking cover by Arthur Adams.
