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.
Another copy of this essential key. Check out the vibrant yellows and nice, clean reds on this attractive cover, a surefire winner for collectors seeking to complete their X-Men run. As the students of Professor X have established themselves as one of the top players in the comic book takeover of Hollywood, each cycle of films brings new fans and collectors into the growing vintage market, making this book more and more desirable with each passing year, and, with the imminent inclusion in the MCU, the sky’s the limit. This important issue remains a favorite of ours and a perennial best-seller. Have at it, mutant fans!
Overstreet Guide 2020 VG+ (4.5) value = $4,000.
