DESCRIPTION
A 15% BUYER'S PREMIUM WILL BE ADDED TO THIS ITEM AT CONCLUSION OF THE AUCTION
ow/white pages; Slight (C-1): small amt of color touch on cvr
Jack Kirby cover & art; origin and 1st app X-Men; 1st app Magneto; Comic Book Impact rating of 10 (CBI)
The first appearances of the original X-Men — including Professor X, Cyclops, Angel, Beast, Iceman, and Marvel Girl, as well as evil mutant Magneto — are all featured in this classic Stan Lee and Jack Kirby comic. A new crew of mutants would revive the title in the ’70s, but this vital debut introduces many of the core characters that would launch the big-screen superhero trend of the 21st century.
In addition to that hit film franchise, these teen outcasts would star in a staggering number of comic spin-offs, plus a variety of live-action TV shows and cartoons. There’s even more interest in the title today as Marvel Studios takes over the beloved characters once owned by 20th Century Fox, strongly suggesting that the investment value of this perpetually hot issue will only continue to grow.
Origin stories and first issues are always smart acquisitions for collectors. X-Men #1 is a book every collector should have on their wish list, and this professionally restored FN+ copy strikes the perfect balance between condition and price for bidders looking for a great price on an admirable addition to their portfolio. With a strong color palette and solid condition, this book is ready to be taken home by a determined bidder at a break from the price of an original-condition copy.
