The Uncanny X-Men #165

In "Transfigurations!", Storm battles a terrifying infection as her body begins to change under the influence of the Brood. With their ship adrift and the alien Acanti looming, the X-Men face a desperate struggle—only to be reunited with Storm, now fused with the very creature the Brood command. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Paul Smith, with inks by Bob Wiacek, colors by Lynn Varley, and letters by Tom Orzechowski, this 1983 issue captures the X-Men’s peril in the void, where faith and transformation collide. The cover, by Paul Smith, captures the moment of dread and transformation.
