DESCRIPTION
ow/white pgs; QES Certified - Criteria met: Preferred staple placement + Flawless staple area + flawless cover edges + Deep Color Strike (White & Red)
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.
Merry Marvel Mutants! The first appearance of the X-Men in a stunning 9.2 CGC grade! This is a QES-certified copy with off-white to white pages, flawless staple area and cover edges, and deep color strike. It's immediately apparent when looking at this copy's cover that this is a special book, the white background is very clean, and makes the original five X-Men and Magneto look amazingly sharp as well. All of the cover text is unbelievably bold, including the flawless X-Men logo. A 9.2 sold over a year ago for $134,000, before recent market growth and increasing rumors of the X-Men joining the MCU. This is a beautiful piece of pop culture history and a landmark comic. Bid today for your chance to win this uncanny copy!
Overstreet Guide 2021 NM- (9.2) value = $70,000.
