X-Men #1 made comics history with the first appearances of the original X-Men — including Professor X, Cyclops, Angel, Beast, Iceman, and Marvel Girl, as well as evil mutant Magneto. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby came up with inspired characters, as well as a high concept that created multiple new teen characters without pesky origin stories. (Stan Lee originally envisioned the comic as The Mutants , but changed the title to appease publisher Martin Goodman —naming the newly formed group after its founder, Professor Charles Xavier.) A new crew of mutants (including Wolverine and Marvel Girl's evolution into Phoenix) would revive the title in the ’70s starting with Giant-Size X-Men #1. This vital debut still introduces many of the core characters that would launch the big-screen superhero trend of the 21st century.

In addition to their own film franchise, the 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. The massive success of 2024's Deadpool & Wolverine strongly suggests that the investment value of this perpetually hot issue will only continue to grow.
_______________________________________________

This 7.5 X-Men #1 is in great condition at 60+ years, most notably sporting an exceptionally clean background for Jack Kirby's classic cover. The vibrant colors are backed by an impressively solid spine for an exceptional presentation. Nothing's been revealed about the MCU’s first X-Menmovie, but the feverish anticipation helps to secure this book's place as a top-tier Silver Age key.
