"From the Ashes" is a trade paperback which reprints issues #168-176 of the comic book Uncanny X-Men, published by Marvel Comics in 1990. While most trade paperbacks of the time reprinted a single story arc, From the Ashes collected three different story arcs and three single-issue stories. The stories were all written by Chris Claremont and most of them were drawn by Paul Smith and Bob Wiacek, though Walt Simonson was a guest penciller on one issue and John Romita Jr. took over as regular penciller on the series towards the end of the collected set of issues. The stories introduced Madelyne Pryor, Lockheed, the Morlocks, and Valerie Cooper, and featured Rogue joining the team. Issue #175 was a giant-sized "20th anniversary of the X-Men" issue.
