ADASTRA IN AFRICA Act 1

Before she married (and eventually divorced) T'Challa, aka The Black Panther...

...the only major romance in Ororo Munroe aka Storm's life was with Forge in a two-part tale chronicled by writer Chris Claremont and illustrator Barry Windsor-Smith  entitled "LifeDeath"!

Sadly, the third part of the trilogy (and it is a trilogy) wasn't published by Marvel.

Instead, the character was visually-modified into Windsor-Smith's own character, the goddess Adastra from his Young Gods series published by Dark Horse.
However, due to...problems...between Windsor-Smith and Dark Horse, they ended the book's run with #9, before the story could be printed, as planned in the remaining three issues.
Barry offered the project as a one-shot to Fantagraphics, who happily took it and ran with it.

Ambitious!

But if there's anyone who can achieve it, it's Ororo...I mean Adastra!
