ow/white pgs
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 most 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 Fox, strongly suggesting the investment value of this perpetually hot issue will only continue to grow.
This is a bright and bold, well-preserved copy of X-Men #1, that presents a clean light background, vivid reds and yellows, and some cool greys and blues as well. Always a popular book at auction the first entry into the historic run of this title is a bona fide classic key of Marvel’s Silver Age. Although the title took some time to get its footing, the rebirth of the team in 1975 helped save a floundering franchise and place the X-Men in the elite echelons of Marvel’s stable of characters. The book is in excellent condition, with only the slightest of wear around the edges. With the imminent reboot of the X-Men movie franchise in the MCU, this book is a great investment opportunity.
