Where it came from
The Uncanny X-Men #189, published in February 1985, arrived during the height of writer Chris Claremont’s transformative run on the title. The issue serves as a standalone story featuring the X-Men's encounter with the sentient sentinel Kulan Gath, a sorcerer from the Hyborian Age who reshapes New York City into a medieval landscape. This narrative arc is notable for its darker, high-stakes tone, reflecting Claremont’s willingness to experiment with genre-blending within the superhero framework.
The interior art was provided by John Romita Jr., whose gritty, kinetic style became synonymous with the X-Men's mid-1980s aesthetic. Working with inker Dan Green, Romita Jr. aimed to ground the fantastical elements of the transformation in the recognizable streets of Manhattan, creating a stark contrast between urban realism and ancient magic. The issue was well-received by readers at the time, recognized for its ambitious scope and for Romita Jr.'s evocative visual storytelling during a period when the series dominated the comic book industry.
