The Marvel Saga the Official History of the Marvel Universe #11

This installment of Marvel's ambitious retelling of its own history puts the spotlight on the original X-Men — shown here in their early blue-and-yellow costumes clashing in dynamic combat — while ghostly figure renderings above them evoke their modern incarnation as X-Factor. Magneto looms prominently on the lower left, a suitably imposing presence anchoring the mutant-heavy action, while a side panel highlights the Molecule Man and promises additional coverage of the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, the Hulk, and the Avengers. Keith Pollard's pencils and Al Williamson's inks give the cover a clean, energetic feel that suits this 1986 chronicle of Marvel's ever-expanding universe.
