Original Art (Marvel, 1985).

First appearance of Rachel Summers as Phoenix! Daughter of Scott Summers and Jean Grey from an alternate future, Rachel appears for the very first time wearing her new costume after vowing to remember her mother and taking the name of Phoenix, as the X-men (Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Rogue, Cyclops, Shadowcat [Kitty Pryde], and Colossus) prepare to travel to Asgard to find Storm and the New Mutants. A great sequence showing nearly all of the X-Men (except Storm) and even Madelyne Pryor (Summers) with Lockheed the Dragon!
