May 1997 · Marvel · 0.99 USD; 1.38 CAD
“The Song of Storm”

In "The Song of Storm," Ororo Munroe’s life begins in tragedy when her parents die in a plane crash, leaving her to survive on the streets of Cairo as a thief. From the bustling alleys of the city to the sacred heart of Africa, her journey shapes her into a figure of legend—before she ultimately answers the call to become an X-Man. Written by Jim Alexander and illustrated by Mark Campos, with colors by Bob Sharen and letters by Jack Morelli, this story captures the roots of a mutant whose storm-wracked past is as powerful as her future. The cover by Marcelo Campos perfectly frames her transformation from orphan to icon.
