True North Collection


X-Men #4 features Magneto ushering in the first appearance of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch (who, of course, would wise up and become Avengers) along with Toad and Mastermind (who'd stay evil) for the debut of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. That's an impressive array of firsts coming so soon after the first appearance of the X-Men and Magneto in X-Men #1. There's also a classic Jack Kirby cover to further establish X-Men #4 as a particularly beloved favorite — although all the early issues of this classic title have remained some of the Silver Age's most collectible books.

Of course, 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. X-Men #4 still showcases 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. 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 9.4 X-Men #4 is another outstanding book from the fabulous firsts of the True North Collection — introducing the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver as conflicted allies of Magneto (in his second appearance), along with Toad and Mastermind as more reliable members of the initial Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. It's always exciting to present a Marvel Age classic that really captures the impact of when these characters first hit the newsstands, with Jack Kirby's cover supported by a sturdy spine and minimal chipping.
