The Marvel Comics Illustrated Version of The X-Men #02835
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 1982 Marvel collection adapts key early X-Men stories into a prose-heavy illustrated format, distinct from the standard comic book presentation. It condenses classic Uncanny X-Men tales from the series' revival era, offering a narrative-driven entry point for readers of the time.
In "Second Genesis!", the X-Men, stranded at sea, are rescued by a Japanese vessel, setting the stage for a flashback to Xavier’s first encounter with Storm—a daring thief in Cairo—where their paths crossed amid a clash with the enigmatic Shadow King. Written by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, with art by Byrne and inks by Terry Austin, this issue blends oceanic isolation with a pivotal moment in mutant history, all framed by Dave Cockrum’s striking cover.
In a story that weaves memory and menace, the X-Men—adrift on the open sea—are rescued by a Japanese vessel, where Professor X recalls a pivotal moment from his past: his first encounter with Storm in Cairo, a time when he faced the Shadow King for the first time. As the past collides with the present, the psychic war begins anew.
