In "The Museum of Oddities," Jean Grey is sent to investigate a peculiar phenomenon: the surprising power of cuteness in a duck, as Professor Xavier explores whether such charm could help mutants gain wider acceptance. Written by Jeff Parker and brought to life with a distinctive, all-in-one effort by artist Colleen Coover, this 2007 X-Men special blends whimsy and purpose. The cover, by Kevin Nowlan, captures the story’s quirky tone with striking detail.
