“Red Raven, Red Raven...!”

In "Red Raven, Red Raven...!", the X-Men's early days take a tense turn as Bobby, caught in a moment of desperation, reveals his mutant powers while defending Judy from a gang led by the troublemaker Rocky. Written by Gary Friedrich and brought to life by George Tuska’s dynamic art and John Verpoorten’s inks, this 1968 issue captures the raw fear and suspicion that follow a young mutant’s secret exposure. The cover by Don Heck and Marie Severin, with inks by John Tartaglione and Marie Severin, perfectly frames the rising storm of hostility that now surrounds Bobby.
