The Uncanny X-Men #302 — John Romita Jr. & Dan Panosian Cover (1993)

The Uncanny X-Men #302 features the dramatic cover headline “Colossus Unleashed!”, placing Colossus (Piotr Rasputin) front and center in his metallic form. The towering X-Man dominates the composition, roaring aggressively with his massive metal fists raised toward the viewer. Several other X-Men appear behind him, including Bishop, while the cover uses a vivid purple background and bold red, yellow, blue and metallic tones to emphasize Colossus's power.

The large three-dimensional X-MEN logo occupies the upper portion of the cover, while a blue burst announces “COLOSSUS UNLEASHED!” The Marvel Comics branding and issue number 302 appear at the upper left, and the lower-left barcode identifies this copy as the Direct Edition.

The issue contains the story “Province,” written by Scott Lobdell, with pencils by John Romita Jr. and inks by Dan Green and Dan Panosian. In the story, the X-Men confront Trevor Fitzroy in Dallas, while Colossus becomes dangerously enraged and attacks Fitzroy. The issue also features Storm, Jean Grey, Iceman, Jubilee, Professor X, Forge, Mystique, Kitty Pryde and Illyana Rasputina.
