The climactic chapter of the classic saga of the Dark Phoenix! The cover says it all: Phoenix must die! But if that is Jean Grey's fate, she won't face it alone! With Jean's life in the balance, the X-Men fight a duel of honor on the Blue Area of the Moon - against the mighty Gladiator and his allies in the Imperial Guard of the Shi'ar Empire! Cyclops will be by the side of the woman he loves until the battle's very end - and the shocking finale will break your heart now, every bit as it did for legions of X-Men fans in 1980! It's one of the all-time great Marvel comic books, boldly re-presented in its original form, ads and all! Reprinting X-MEN (1963) #137. Marvel is reprinting the complete Death of Phoenix Saga issues as they originally appeared!
