The Marvel Saga the Official History of the Marvel Universe #4

This special "X-Men Origins" installment of The Marvel Saga dives into the early history of Marvel's mutants and gods under the banner of "Book IV: Of Gods and Mutants." The cover — penciled by Ron Frenz and Jackson Guice and inked by Al Milgrom — brings together Professor X (whose enormous glowing visage dominates the center), Magneto on the left unleashing his power, and Cyclops firing his optic blast on the right, while a seated figure of Professor X appears in the foreground, conveying the weight of his role as the mutants' guiding force. Promising additional content on Thor, the Fantastic Four, Doctor Doom, Sub-Mariner, and more, this 1986 issue is a genuinely satisfying deep-dive for anyone who loves Marvel's interconnected mythology told in one handsome package.
