When you’ve got amazing stories by Chris Claremont, excellent artwork by Dave Cockrum, and the astonishing debut of fan-favourite Paul Smith, what you’ve got is a mutant masterwork!

It starts off with an adventure in Belasco’s mysterious Limbo realm that leaves Colossus’ little sister Ilyana Rasputin aged from child to teenager in a moment. Then comes a classic tale of Professor X and Magneto in their younger days, before their philosophical fallout, teamed-up to take down Baron Strucker and Hydra. But the real action is the conclusion of the epic Brood Saga! Teamed with the Starjammers and Shi’ar, the X-Men, are in an all-out war for survival against the sleaziest parasites in outer space.

There’s also the debut of Carol Danvers as Binary, the return of Dracula, and a guest-star nod by the New Mutants, and to top it off, we’re also including the long-demanded Wolverine and Angel backup stories from Marvel Treasury Edition #26-27 and the Kitty Pryde classic from Special Edition X-Men #1.

Collecting Uncanny X-Men issues #160-167, X-Men Annual #6 and material from Special Edition X-Men #1 & Marvel Treasury Edition #26-27, written by Chris Claremont with Mary Jo Duffy & Scott Edelman, pencilled by Dave Cockrum & Paul Smith with Brent Anderson, Bill Sienkiewicz & Ken Landgraf; features cover artwork by Paul Smith.
