Excalibur #33

In "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," Excalibur faces a dangerous mind game when Mesmero uses his powers to manipulate the team for his own survival. Meanwhile, Kitty and her classmates take on a surprising new challenge—trying out for cheerleader to raise funds and save their school from shutting down. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Ron Wagner, with vibrant colors by John Wilcox and bold lettering by Tim Harkins, this 1991 issue blends high-stakes tension with a heartfelt, underdog spirit. The cover by Steve Lightle captures the mood with a striking, dynamic image.
