Excalibur Omnibus #1

This massive hardcover collects the earliest adventures of the British mutant team Excalibur, beginning with their formation in the wake of the Fall of the Mutants and the X-Men's apparent demise. Featuring the core founding lineup of Captain Britain, Meggan, Nightcrawler, Shadowcat, and Phoenix (Rachel Summers), the volume gathers Excalibur: The Sword is Drawn, Excalibur (1988) #1-34, and related annuals and specials from the late 1980s. The stories, primarily written by Chris Claremont and drawn by Alan Davis, blend superheroics with Arthurian legend and British pop culture as the team carves out its own quirky corner of the Marvel Universe.
