The Uncanny X-Men, Vol. 1 #309 (Marvel Comics 1993) Direct Edition
Cover by John Romita, Jr. begins a striking chapter in the X-Men saga with a dream‑driven narrative that delves into personal history and what might have been. The issue, titled When The Tigers Come At Night!, invites readers into a surreal moment where Professor X and Magneto confront his past loves and the life he almost shared with Amelia Voght, the Acolyte.
Credits and artistry bring this standalone moment to life: script by Scott Lobdell; interior art by John Romita Jr., Dan Green, and Jon Holdredge. The 38-page, full-color story marries Romita Jr.’s dynamic visuals with Green and Holdredge’s inks to frame a contemplative, character‑driven X‑Men scene that stands out for its emotional resonance within the era’s action-driven run.
