Description

Historic 1st app of our favorite demonic mutant.
Written by Chris Claremont and drawn by John Buscema back in 1983.

A page from the first issue of the limited series focusing on Illyana Rasputin's traumatic journey in Limbo, where she becomes the sorceress Magik (Illyana's transformation into Magik).

This page is special as it is just the 2nd page ever showing an adult Illyana after her initial transformation into the Magik demoness...attacking her mentor Storm.

The Buscema and Palmer fantasy art in play! Yeah, Storm doesn't give up on kids. Cyclops on the other hand...
