Spécial Strange #18

In "Sanction contre 'X'...", the X-Men are pulled from their usual battles and thrust into a bizarre, surreal setting when Beast discovers the X-Mansion abandoned and follows the team’s trail to a Texas carnival—where they’re performing as sideshow attractions. Chris Claremont’s sharp storytelling, brought to life by John Byrne’s dynamic art and Terry Austin’s precise inks, sets a haunting, off-kilter tone as Mesmero’s influence begins to unravel, leading to a shocking confrontation with Magneto. The cover by Jean Frisano captures the eerie spectacle with striking detail.
