“The Supreme Sacrifice!”

In "The Supreme Sacrifice!", the X-Men are captured, leaving Professor X to investigate a downed Sentinel on his own. With the team breaking free and fighting back against the relentless Sentinels, a crucial turn comes when Professor X arrives just in time—and Dr. Trask makes a final, unexpected choice that changes everything. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life by Jack Kirby’s dynamic art, with Jay Gavin’s inks and Dick Ayers’ tight lines, this 1966 classic features Kirby and Ayers on the cover as well.
