The Uncanny X-Men, Vol. 1 #190 (Marvel Comics 1984) Direct Edition

Overview

The Uncanny X-Men, Vol. 1, #190 (Marvel Comics, 1984) Direct Edition delivers a landmark crossover event anchored by a single, high-stakes premise. In "An Age Undreamed Of!" Part 1 of 2, an ancient warlock named Kulan Gath seizes Manhattan, warping the city and its inhabitants with dark sorcery. A motley crew of heroes faces this arcane threat, setting the stage for a showdown that blends mutant might with mystical menace.
