Few comics have had the impact of 1975’s Giant-Size X-Men #1. Len Wein and Dave Cockrum introduced a whole new team of mutant heroes to take over Marvel’s long-running title, with the characters debuting here before taking over the regular X-Men title with issue #94. Numerous X-titles would continue through the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, and the mutant super team would launch the Marvel Cinematic Universe. (Comic fans are hotly anticipating a new franchise of X-Men films under the Marvel Studios banner, with Hugh Jackman's Wolverine returning for the third Deadpool film.) To this day, the mutant team and their spin-offs continue to be amongst Marvel's best-selling books.
One of the highest graded copies of Giant-Size X-Men #1, this book has no noticeable condition concerns visible to the naked eye. The centering is immaculate, the white background is as clean as can be, the colors are glossy and vibrant, the spine is tight and rigid, and the corners are perfectly cut and sharp. The growth in value of this issue has been quite a phenomenon to witness, taking its place among the most treasured and valuable Bronze Age keys. As time goes by books from the period are slowly inching into territory previously reserved for Silver and Golden Age output, but with so many of the era’s impactful storylines being mined for MCU content, the Bronze Age is being taken more seriously than ever by investment collectors. This comic is always in high demand and always trending upwards in value.
Overstreet Guide 2020 NM- (9.2) value = $2,300.
