Cover by John Cassaday and Laura Martin
I bought this at the Yuma, Arizona comic book store, Fan-Quest. Diane, the owner, had pulled me a copy and I bought them whenever I could.
Since it doesn’t feature Kitty, I probably should try to sell it but I like having one of the many variants this run had.
The review of the issue, proper, can be found here –
