Indexer Notes

Giacoia inks per Nick Caputo and Jim Starlin. Steve Whitaker previously credited Mike Esposito. Erroneously credited to Joe Sinnott in his record books. Jim Starlin believes he may have provided the cover layout for George Tuska.

Sources for letters credit are The Marvel Comics Index (Olshevsky 1981), The Official Marvel Index to the X-Men (Olshevsky 1987), The Official Marvel Index to the X-Men (Ward 1994), and Official Index to the Marvel Universe (Vandal et al. 2009).

Indexer Notes

Original title: "The Warlock Wakes". Title was changed so as not to be confused with the new hero Warlock, who had recently received his own title.
