The X-Men #76

From 1972, this issue of Marvel's The X-Men promises chaos with its dramatic cover tagline "Bedlam is the Banshee!" — and Gil Kane's pencils (inked by Frank Giacoia and Mike Esposito) deliver exactly that energy. The cover depicts a green-costumed Banshee swooping aggressively through a cityscape while X-Men in their yellow-and-blue uniforms — including a visibly pained Cyclops in the foreground — are clearly on the receiving end of his sonic assault. Inside, Roy Thomas scripts "The Wail of the Banshee," with art by Werner Roth and inks by John Tartaglione, making this a well-crafted early-Bronze-Age package for any fan of the original X-Men lineup.
