Excalibur Special Edition

A single oversized 1987 one-shot from Marvel, Excalibur Special Edition paired writer Chris Claremont with artist Alan Davis for a standalone, bombastic adventure. This issue served as a vibrant showcase for the newly-formed Excalibur team, blending the X-Men's mutant soap opera with a very British, whimsical sensibility. It's a key early artifact of the team's classic Claremont/Davis run, offering a concentrated dose of the charm and high-energy fantasy that would define the series to come.
