Professor Xavier and the X-Men #14

This December 1996 installment of Professor Xavier and the X-Men dives headlong into psychological territory with its story titled "Living Dangerously." The cover — penciled and inked by Eric Battle — delivers an unsettling, surreal image: a snarling, wild-eyed figure is caught bursting through what appears to be a tear or rupture in flesh, suggesting a mind under siege from forces within. It's a striking visual that makes "Mind Games" feel less like a tagline and more like a genuine threat.
