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.
This copy of Giant-Size X-Men #1 earned a 9.4 CGC Universal Grade and has white pages. At a 9.4 this copy is close to perfection, and it shows. The iconic Gil Kane/Dave Cockrum cover is truly stunning here, with an immaculate background and logo, as well as sharp vibrant illustrations of both the new and old X-Men. The high-grade condition is matched only by the historic value and significance of the book itself. With the X-Men confirmed to be joining the MCU, and Patrick Stewart’s Professor X making a surprise appearance in the recent “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” there will be generations of X-Men fans to come, and this milestone only grows more significant with each passing year.
