Highest GradedKnown primarily for introducing Kitty Pryde to the world of the X-Men, and well as Emma Frost, the White Queen of the Hellfire Club, X-Men #129 also is the first issue in a story arc that would culminate in the Dark Phoenix saga, regularly regarded as one of the greatest achievements in the history of comics. It will come as no surprise that X-Men fans across the planet are awaiting the team’s reboot in the MCU, and, doubtless, that reboot will eventually involve Kitty Pryde, making this issue a potential barnburner down the road. The amazing interiors by John Byrne and the sustained respect for his run on the title in the late 70s and early 80s make each of his contributions to the X-Men a special collectible all its own.
This copy of X-Men #129 is one of the top graded on the census, at a staggering 9.8, this book is a prime example of this issue available to the marketplace. An incredibly appealing copy, the colors are extremely bright, clean, and clear; the cut of the book is perfect, with tight binding, sharp corners, and all of the other hallmarks one would expect to see on a comic of this grade. The bonus of the first appearance of Kitty Pryde is the icing on the cake.
