ow/white pgs; QES Certified: Criteria met: Preferred staple placement + perfect staple area + deep color strike ( red, blue, & yellow) + beautiful spine
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.

Since Marvel has recovered the rights to the cinematic X-Men franchise, the world has waited with bated breath to find out how Kevin Feige and the minds over at the MCU plan to introduce the team into the fold, as well as who will be portraying the heroes. The anticipation is palpable amongst the comic book community, as not only will the public be stoked to see the films, but anyone who owns a copy of X-Men #1 knows they are sitting on a goldmine, which is poised to explode in value beyond current, already impressive, expectations. With a selection of five copies of the first appearance of the mutant heroes in this EA, there are plenty of chances to make a sound investment, and this QES-certified copy is the highest graded in the bunch, with a wonderful color strike, perfect staple placement, and solid spine, this is an exceptionally clean, fresh, and valuable copy of a rock-solid classic key.
