The X-Men #30

From March 1967, this issue of Marvel's The X-Men promises a formidable clash as a robed, star-and-crescent-cloaked figure dominates the foreground, clearly overwhelming several X-Men at once — Cyclops, Iceman, Angel, and Marvel Girl visible in the chaos of a stone-walled setting. A mysterious bald face crackles with psychic energy above the title, and the cover's bold promise — "The Warlock Wakes!" — signals that the team has their hands very full indeed. Jack Kirby's pencils, inked by John Tartaglione, give the whole scene a wonderful kinetic energy that makes this one hard to set back on the shelf.
