Uncanny X-Men #171 - to the moon, Anna! (ok yeah, that was weak.)

[perletwo]

Filling neuhallidae's request for a scene from Uncanny X-Men #171, with context added. Six and a third pages plus preview image from a 23-page story, with Claremont writing and lovely Walt Simonson guest pencils. It's a bridge story tying up the first Morlock plot, advancing several other ongoing plots (including a visit X-friend Carol Danvers pays to her parents, who find her quite distant thanks to her brain-suckage and recent Binary-transformation), and bringing a newcomer to the front door at Graymalkin Lane:









When Xavier calls them back in, he tells them he's decided not only to accept Rogue as a student, but also to put her on as a probationary X-Man. Storm, in her capacity as X-Leader, is refusing vehemently to accept her on the team, when suddenly dun dun dun:












So that's how Rogue came to join the X-Men, and how Carol Danvers came to bid them all DIAF. Not my scans, sorry about the quality, I cleaned 'em up best I could.
