A Tale Untold Until Now
Anna Marie’s experience in the Savage Land gained initial fame through a series of pin-ups back in the 1990s. Notably, one of these pieces marked Jim Lee’s final work before he embarked on a new journey with Image Comics. Interestingly, despite these iconic images, the original comics of that era barely scratched the surface of her adventures in this prehistoric paradise.
In the early ’90s, Rogue’s powers—borrowed from Ms. Marvel—vanished, leaving her stranded in Uncanny X-Men #269. By Uncanny X-Men #274, she emerges stronger and allied with Magneto and Ka-Zar. Together, they wage war to protect the Savage Land. But what happened in between those issues? That story, until now, remained untold.
A Journey Concluded and Began Anew
"Rogue: The Savage Land #1" not only fills this gap but enriches it with layers of complexity and emotion. As Anna Marie aligns with iconic figures like Magneto and Ka-Zar, her journey back to the United States becomes a cornerstone in X-Men lore.
