X-Men v1 #133, 1980 - Bound and helpless, the X-Men also witness Phoenix's transformation into the Black Queen. Wolverine, just recently escaped, is prominently featured on
John Byrne's kinetic cover. In fact, the opening pages show an uncommon savagery that's masterfully drawn. The artist's treatment of Jean Grey and her illusory world is more subtle. Through her eyes we see the X-Men as colonial-era prisoners. The artist brilliantly juxtaposes past and present for the readers' benefit. Byrne's two full page splashes enhance an already exceptional effort.
