X-Men Alpha (1995) #1

"Beginnings", written by Scott Lobdell, art by Cruz.

Charles Xavier is dead — killed twenty years in the past by his future son David Haller during a time-travel accident — and the world created by his absence is a nightmare! Apocalypse rules with an iron fist, ruthlessly enforcing his dictum that only the strong shall survive.

Key book; first appearance of the X-Man, Dark Beast, Holocaust, Abyss (a Horseman of Apocalypse), Morph (in his featureless form, from the Age of Apocalypse reality) & Charles Lehnsherr (the child of Magneto and Rogue). This is the first printing with a wraparound chromium cover. Near mint condition.
