X-Men Archives #1

"Legion" kicks off in X-Men Archives #1 (1995), a pivotal story written by Chris Claremont and illustrated with striking intensity by Bill Sienkiewicz, whose dynamic art and inks define the issue’s haunting tone. When Charles Xavier is called to Muir Island to assist an old friend, he’s drawn into a mystery surrounding a young boy named David Haller, whose emerging mutant abilities hint at a connection deeper than he could have imagined. The cover, also by Sienkiewicz, captures the story’s eerie, introspective mood, setting the stage for a tale that redefines legacy and identity.
