X-Men: Hellfire Club #4

Apr 2000 · Marvel · 2.50 USD; 3.75 CAD
“Also Sprach Sebastian”

In "Also Sprach Sebastian," Irene finds herself at the mercy of Sebastian Shaw, who offers her a chillingly personal account of his past through Tessa. As the Hellfire Club's true nature begins to unfold, Shaw makes a tantalizing offer—admission into his inner circle—just as her story about him is sealed behind a wall of silence. Written by Ben Raab and brought to life by Charlie Adlard’s stark, expressive art and Kevin Somers’ evocative colors, this issue delivers a tense, atmospheric dive into one of Marvel’s most enigmatic factions, with cover art by Charlie Adlard.
