1988 - Excalibur promo art and ads


Love this poster, the image of the ghostly King Arthur and Stonehenge is amazing! The Sword Is Drawn!


Looks like they changed the "The Sword Is Drawn!" for "A New Legend Is Forged!"

  1. Love, love, love this! Alan Davis' version of these characters was, in my opinion, flawless. I don't think Kitty's ever had a better costume. It shows how timeless Nightcrawler's look really is. And his Capt Britain and Meggan are untouchable. It saddens me to think what was to come...Kurt with a brushcut, Meggan with gauntlets and belts, Brian as Britannic, then add Daytripper and Douglock...the 90s were unkind to so many X-characters.

  3. I don't think anyone beats Davis when it comes to Nightcrawler. Issue three hooked me on this series. Not for Juggernaut but how Shadowcat dealt with having a cold.
