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. (Future breakout star Wolverine had already appeared in the pages of Incredible Hulk,, of course, but this issue boasts the first appearances of Marvel icons Storm, Nightcrawler, and Colossus.)

Numerous X-titles would continue to prosper over the decades, and it was no surprise when the super team was chosen to launch the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Investors can count on a bright big-screen future for the X-Men, as well. Fans have been thrilled to see Marvel Studios retrieving the rights to the beloved characters, with Deadpool and Wolverine already one of the most anticipated films of 2024. To this day, the mutant team and their spin-offs remain amongst Marvel's best-selling books.

This 8.0 copy is in great condition, with eye appeal above its designated grade. Any and all copies of this issue should be considered a serious investment target, thanks to the recent growth in interest in Bronze Age keys. This copy has nice corners, a stable spine, a remarkable color strike, and a handsome, clean presentation. Save some dough and energy for the end of this Event Auction because there are three copies of this issue available for our customers to bid on, and each is a very nice copy at grade.
