The Uncanny X-Men #227

In "The Belly of the Beast!", the X-Men face a terrifying trial as Forge attempts to banish the Adversary by channeling their life force, plunging them into a nightmarish vision of the Vietnam War. With Colossus returning to stand beside them, the team must push through a warped, demonic landscape to confront the ancient threat—only to face a sacrifice that will test their very existence. Written by Chris Claremont and brought to life by Marc Silvestri’s dynamic art, with Dan Green’s inks, Bill Wray’s colors, and Tom Orzechowski’s lettering, this 1988 issue features a cover by Marc Silvestri and Dan Green that captures the chaos and dread of the battle within.
