The Uncanny X-Men #188
In "Legacy of the Lost," the X-Men face a new threat as the Dire Wraiths return, this time with magical assistance that pushes them to their limits. With the Adversary's influence spreading across Naze and Magneto rescued from the sea by Lee, Rachel steps forward to join the team—recapping her past from earlier issues. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Dan Green and John Romita Jr., with colors by Glynis Wein and letters by Tom Orzechowski, the issue blends supernatural stakes with the team’s evolving dynamics. The cover by John Romita Jr. and Dan Green captures the moment’s intensity, a 60-cent comic from 1984 that stands as a pivotal chapter in the X-Men’s saga.
