Excalibur Special Edition #1 (1987)

Excalibur Special Edition #1 marks the first appearance of Marvel’s British superhero team — Excalibur — uniting fan-favorite X-Men characters Nightcrawler, Shadowcat, and Rachel Summers under the guidance of Captain Britain and Meggan. Written by Chris Claremont and beautifully illustrated by Alan Davis, this oversized one-shot blends high-stakes adventure with witty British charm as the team battles interdimensional chaos and establishes their new identity apart from the X-Men.

This issue serves as the pilot for the Excalibur ongoing series, making it a cornerstone key for both X-Men and Excalibur collectors.
