Emma Frost #1
Emma Frost #1 (2003) kicks off "Higher Learning, Part 1 of 6: Growing Pains" with a raw, intimate look at a teenage Emma Frost—quiet, overlooked, and weighed down by a rigid home life and relentless schoolyard cruelty. As her headaches grow worse and strange voices whisper in her mind, it becomes clear her ordinary world is cracking open in ways she can't yet understand. Written by Karl Bollers and illustrated by Randy Green, with inks by Rick Ketcham and colors by Pete Pantazis, the issue's moody tone is perfectly captured in Greg Horn’s cover art.

Timid wallflower Emma Frost gets bullied at school, pushed around by a domineering father and is generally unhappy with her miserable (if privileged) life. Then, she starts getting terrible headaches and begins hearing voices in her head and has little inclination that her world is about to completely change.
