About the series
Marvel’s 1999 miniseries X-Men True Friends is a three-issue story from the legendary Chris Claremont, with art by Rick Leonardi. It explores the early, pre–X-Men friendship between Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr (Magneto), set against the backdrop of post–World War II Europe. A quiet, character-driven piece, it matters as a focused look at the ideological seeds of their lifelong conflict, told by the writer who defined the X-Men’s modern mythos.
