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 new characters debuting here before going on to to take 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.
The ridiculous amount of growth that has been recently taking place with the Bronze Age market has been exemplified by the explosion in the value of Giant-Size X-Men #1. The main draw of this book is the first appearance of the new X-Men, comprised of Cyclops, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Storm, Colossus, and Thunderbird, a team intended to appeal to a wide spectrum of nationalities and racial backgrounds in an effort to sell more comics, as the X-Men title was flagging, and resorting to republishing earlier stories to stay afloat. While this comic has remained popular and valuable over the years, the recent resurgence in interest thanks to the rights to the mutant team reverting back to the MCU has been nothing short of breathtaking. This 9.8 copy is in pristine condition, with nary a sign of wear to be found anywhere on its sharp, clean, and sturdy cover.
Overstreet Guide 2020 NM- (9.2) value = $2,300.
