X-Men Vol. 1, No. 117 [Marvel Legends Reprint] #[nn]

In "Psi War!", the X-Men, stranded at sea, are rescued by a Japanese vessel, prompting Professor Xavier to recall a pivotal moment from his past: his first encounter with Storm, then a thief in Cairo, and their clash with the enigmatic Shadow King. Written by John Byrne and Chris Claremont, with art by Byrne and inks by Terry Austin, this issue blends introspective storytelling with the team’s ongoing journey, all rendered in striking detail. The cover by Dave Cockrum and Terry Austin captures the intensity of the moment, a striking visual that echoes the story’s emotional weight.
