The Marvel Saga the Official History of the Marvel Universe #6

This 1986 entry in Marvel's retrospective series packs an impressive range of Marvel history into a single issue, with the cover by Brent Anderson (pencils) and Joe Sinnott (inks) vividly depicting Cyclops and Iceman bound and threatened by an angry mob — a striking image of mutant persecution that sets the tone for the X-Men and X-Factor origins content within. The cover also previews a collage of additional characters, including the Puppet Master's unsettling grinning face, the Thing and the Invisible Woman in action, and glimpses of Odin and Asgard. Peter Sanderson's chronicle continues to weave together threads from across the Marvel Universe, promising origins of Iron Man, Alicia, and the mythology of Asgard alongside the mutant storylines.
