X-Men

This issue of Marvel Fanfare collects two seemingly disparate stories into one volume, the common theme being that they are both tales that feature mutants and one-time members of the X Men. The first tale is a rather marvelous one of Angel (now Archangel) and his fall from grace whilst battling Mephisto. In actuality though, the story is about "poopy old Josephina" (her words, not mine) an elderly widow who is fortunate to discover the fallen body of our supposed hero and how life can present the strangest of turns. The second tale is of Storm, former leader of the X-Men and her rather convoluted (at the time) search for identity. There are also a number of pin up in the back section to stiate those who wish to take a pair of scissors to their comic book collection.
