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 many 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 20th Century Fox, strongly suggesting that the investment value of this perpetually hot issue will only continue to grow.
This copy of the introduction of Marvel’s mutant hero team earned a 5.0 from CGC, with off-white pages. The central image of the five X-Men teaming up to fight Magneto has remained in impressive condition for its grade. While there are a few signs of the vintage of this classic key, they do not seriously affect the iconic figures doing battle in the foreground. The colors remain strong on this sixty-year-old investment book. A major first appearance like this is always in high demand and constantly increasing in value, at any grade, and any price. This is an amazing piece of Marvel Comics history. The looming introduction of the X-Men to the MCU is creating a great atmosphere for this book at auction as a huge jump in value is anticipated.
