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.
This copy of X-Men #1 provides a perfect opportunity for bidders seeking this book but find themselves unable to compete at higher grades, we anticipate a real slugfest over this lot as the price will be right in the sweet spot for customers on the hunt for the first appearance of the super-mutants. It goes without saying that the expectation over the announcement of the X-Men’s introduction to the MCU is one of the most highly anticipated events in comic book fandom today. Once the news breaks, the value of X-Men #1 will see a surge, placing copies like this permanently out of reach for the majority of collectors. A solid investment at any grade this time-worn but solid copy is a potential steal for one determined bidder.
