Excalibur The Sword Is Drawn

Published in 1988 by Marvel, Excalibur: The Sword Is Drawn is a single-issue special that launched a new British-based super-team. Assembling characters from the X-Men and Captain Britain mythos, the story establishes the group's founding mission and dynamic. This debut is significant for setting the tone of the long-running Excalibur series, blending superheroics with a distinctly UK-flavored sensibility.
