In "When Mutants Clash!", Cyclops breaks free from Magneto’s clutches and sets out to find the rest of the X-Men—only to run into Quicksilver in a tense, lightning-fast showdown. Written by Gary Friedrich and brought to life by Don Heck’s dynamic art and Werner Roth’s bold inks, this 1968 classic captures the escalating clash between mutant ideologies, with John Tartaglione’s lettering and Sam Rosen’s crisp dialogue adding to the urgency. The cover by John Buscema and George Tuska perfectly frames the chaos of the moment, a 12-cent snapshot of mutant conflict in its early days.
