X-Men No. 101 Facsimile Edition #[nn]
In the 2023 Facsimile Edition of X-Men No. 101, "Like a Phoenix, from the Ashes!" marks a pivotal moment as Jean Grey emerges from the wreckage of a crashed shuttle in Jamaica Bay, her powers transformed. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Dave Cockrum, with inks by Frank Chiaramonte and colors by Bonnie Wilford, the story follows Professor X as he sends most of the X-Men to Scotland for rest—only for them to arrive at Banshee’s newly inherited ancestral castle, already home to his cousin Tom and his friend Juggy. The cover, by Dave Cockrum, captures the moment with striking clarity.
