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.
Origin stories and first issues are always smart acquisitions for collectors, and this book has always been a no-brainer, readily available and continually trending upwards in value. X-Men #1 is a book every collector should have on their wish list. Continually reaping the benefits of the mutant team’s movie, TV, and video game appearances, this comic is always appreciating in value. This F/VF copy strikes the perfect balance between condition and price for bidders who cannot compete at the highest grades but want to bring home an admirable copy for their portfolio. Presenting a strong color palette and in solid condition, this is a really handsome copy that should see some serious action come auction time.
Overstreet Guide 2022 F/VF (7.0) value = $30,500.
