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.
Giant-Size X-Men #1 is the definition of a Marvel masterpiece, relaunching the reconfigured team into the fan-favorite and pop-culture sensation they are today. This is a remarkable copy, with a 9.6 grade from CGC and beautiful off-white to white pages. The white background is quick to show blemishes, yet it is completely flawless here. The new and original X-Men are all stunning here, and the cover logo looks amazingly crisp. A 9.6 copy of this book was recently sold for $28,555. With rumors of the X-Men joining the MCU increasing every day, this book is on the verge of skyrocketing even beyond its current lofty position.
