travaganza up there with the very best, blending space opera - featuring the X-Men, the Starjammers and the Shi'ar - with disgusting parasites from the outer limits of the universe in the form of the deadly and sadistic alien Brood! Featuring art by X-icons Dave Cockrum and Paul Smith, it's an action-packed adventure with a visual majesty that will leave you awed. Then, the X-Men encounter the darker side of the Marvel Universe in stories that pit them against Dracula and take them to Belasco's mysterious realm of Limbo! Chris Claremont crafts each story - and tops it all off with a character-defining tale that shows us Professor X and Magneto as allies before their philosophical fallout that would reshape mutantkind's future! Collecting UNCANNY X-MEN (1981) #154-167, X-MEN ANNUAL (1970) #6 and SPECIAL EDITION X-MEN #1.
