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 to prosper over the decades, and it was no surprise when the super team was chosen to launch the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Investors can count on a bright big-screen future for the X-Men, as well. Fans have been thrilled to see Marvel Studios retrieving the rights to the beloved characters, with Deadpool and Wolverine already one of the most anticipated films of 2024. To this day, the mutant team and their spin-offs remain amongst Marvel's best-selling books.
While Marvel properties like Avengers and Fantastic Four were immediate home runs, the X-Men lagged behind those luminaries, languishing in reprint purgatory for a time, the mutants were poised to fade into obscurity before being resurrected in Giant-Size X-Men #1. This key issue saw a new generation of heroes come together to rescue the original team members, one of the defining moments of the Bronze Age, which would go on to shape the narrative of the industry for decades. This copy of Giant-Size X-Men #1 earned a 9.6 CGC Universal Grade and has stunning white pages. With the X-Men confirmed to be joining the MCU, and Patrick Stewart’s Professor X's recent appearance in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” there will undoubtedly be generations of X-Men fans to come, and this milestone only grows more significant with each passing year.
Overstreet Guide 2022 NM- (9.2) value = $10,000.
