Marvel Fanfare #3
In "Into the Land of Death...", the X-Men plunge into the perilous Savage Land in search of Sauron, only to be ambushed by the Mutates in a brutal clash. Overwhelmed, the team is scattered—Angel is the sole escapee—while the rest are captured and dragged before the dark forces of Sauron and Zaladane. Written by Chris Claremont and brought to life by Dave Cockrum’s dynamic art, with inks by Bob McLeod, colors by Glynis Wein, and letters by Jim Novak, this 1982 Marvel Fanfare issue delivers a tense, high-stakes journey into a forgotten corner of the mutant world. The cover, penciled by Cockrum and inked by McLeod, captures the dread of the moment with haunting precision.
