 It was written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by John Buscema, Ron Frenz, Sal Buscema, and Tom Palmer.Because of the popularity of the "Uncanny X-Men" during the 1980s under Chris Claremont, a number of mutant related properties were created, most notably "The New Mutants" from which this series spun off.The main plot takes place in mere seconds of canonical Marvel time, but covers seven years of Illyana's life in Limbo.
