Jack Kirby cover; origin & 1st app. of the Juggernaut, origin Professor XPicking up where issue #11 leaves off, X-Men #12 tells the tale, in flashback, of Professor Xavier's brother and their strained relationship. After Cerebro warns the X-Men of the approach of a super-powerful mutant, the team readies their defenses, during the preparations, Professor X regales his students with stories of his youth, and his family drama. It seems Charles Xavier's father died under mysterious circumstances, and his mother remarried a man named Kurt Marko, whose son Cain was both a brother and an antagonist to Charles throughout their formative years, after discovering a mysterious cave during the Korean War, Cain is endowed with superpowers before being buried under rubble. It turns out Professor X's brother is back, and boy is he mad, once he arrives to take on the X-Men's hastily prepared defenses, Charles utters his brother's new name, one that will become legendary in the Marvel canon, Juggernaut! This issue features pencils by Kirby, Alex Toth, and inks by Vince Colletta.
Thanks to the breakout success of the Fantastic Four and The Avengers, Stan Lee, and Jack Kirby conceptualized characters for a new super-team as the Civil Rights movement was starting to amp up in the mid-1960s; and Lee and Kirby, inspired by the changing times, devised a group of the most uncanny heroes the world had ever witnessed. This copy is in incredible condition for the nearly 60 years it has been around, the colors are searing and the construction is rock solid, with nice white pages to boot.
