Nightcrawler #1

Kurt Wagner leaps into action on this 1985 Marvel limited series opener, sword in hand and blue skin gleaming, as he swashbuckles his way through a crowd of armed adversaries aboard what appears to be a sailing vessel — every inch the dashing adventurer. Dave Cockrum handles the full cover duties himself, delivering a dynamic composition that puts Nightcrawler front and center with genuine flair, surrounded by a mob of colorfully costumed foes closing in from all sides. With the cheeky story title "How Much Is That Boggie in the Window?" hinting at a lighter, more playful tone, this first chapter of the four-issue run promises a fun showcase for one of Marvel's most acrobatic mutants.
