The story everyone knows - with an ending you may never have seen! The climactic chapter of the classic saga of the Dark Phoenix sent shock waves through comic book fandom with the heartbreaking death of Jean Grey. But originally, Chris Claremont and John Byrne planned a different outcome - which, years later, was revealed in PHOENIX: THE UNTOLD STORY! 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 at the side of the woman he loves until the battle's very end - but how will the story play out this time? It's one of the all-time great Marvel comic books, boldly re-presented in its original form, ads and all! Reprinting PHOENIX: THE UNTOLD STORY (1984) #1.

Reviews
The untold story of Phoenix is that Arizona is so big, you'll need to allow time to travel to Mesa if you want to see the Cubs in spring training. It is also hot and dry, but that story has been told.
The other one is that Jean/Phoenix had an entirely different ending that was drawn and rejected in favor of what we all read in Uncanny #137. Highly recommended, before it becomes ASTONISHINGLY recommended for the 12 page discussion between Chris Claremont, John Byrne, Louise Simonson, Jim Salicrup, and Terry Austin. A genuine MUST OWN for X fans.
