DESCRIPTION
ow/white pages; Stan Lee Signature Series 4/25/15
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 earned a 4.5 CGC Universal Grade, with off-white to white pages. The central image of the X-Men teaming up to fight Magneto has remained in admirable condition as only minor wear and discoloration are visible. The Stan Lee signature on this copy’s cover adds a great deal of prestige to this book, and any wear on this mid-grade copy is mainly relegated to the perimeter of the cover and does not detract from the prime focal area. A major first appearance like this is always in high demand and constantly increasing in value, at any grade and any condition. This is an important piece of Marvel Comics' history.
