Solid unrestored FIRM off white to white paged copy. Chris Claremont story Byrne art. Tight intact spine with no splits or tears; Staple placement is FIRM. This spine has a number of light stress lines yet the corners are very sharp.

Key Collector Comics Notes That...
1st appearance of the Shadow King, Amahl Farouk, a powerful psychic

Origin of Professor X concerning a difficult psychic battle against Amahl Farouk which was the inspiration to create the X-Men

Professor X recalls his first encounter with Storm

[November 2022 - this is a longshot but if Marvel continues the overarching multiverse story in Agatha on Disney+, they might find a way to represent Shadow King who once used Aubrey Plaza’s character from Legion as a host. Audrey Plaza has been cast in Agatha but her role is unknown]
