In "Lost Souls!", Angel and Ka-Zar take center stage as they attempt a daring rescue of the captured X-Men, while Xavier believes he’s finally cured Karl Lykos of Sauron’s influence—though the truth may be more complicated. Written by Chris Claremont and brought to life by Paul Smith’s dynamic art, this 1982 Marvel Fanfare issue delivers a tense, character-driven adventure with emotional weight and high stakes. The cover by Paul Smith captures the moment’s urgency, setting the tone for a story that leans into isolation, loyalty, and the lingering shadows of the past.
