Excalibur #106

Nightcrawler takes center stage on this February 1997 issue of Excalibur, rendered in an intense, lunging pose against an industrial backdrop — his yellow eyes blazing and teeth bared as though caught between fury and desperation. The tagline "Inner Demons -- External Threats!" perfectly captures the dual tension radiating from the cover, penciled by Casey Jones and inked by Jason Martin. With Ben Raab writing and a robust art team bringing "A Portrait of the Artist" to life, issue #106 promises a compelling chapter in the X-Men's British corner of the Marvel Universe.
