X-Men #1 (September 1963) brought Marvel's mutant metaphor for civil rights and otherness to newsstands. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby introduced Professor Xavier, Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Iceman, and Angel in a single issue — alongside their greatest nemesis, Magneto.
This CGC 9.0 VF/NM copy is a world-class specimen. The Kirby cover — the X-Men in their original gold-and-blue costumes surrounding the X logo — is pristine with sharp corners and outstanding colour. A truly exceptional Silver Age survivor.
X-Men #1 has seen extraordinary appreciation in high grade over the past decade. A 9.0 of this calibre is rare on the market at any time.
This copy is encapsulated by CGC at 9.0 on a Universal Blue label under certification number 2001122334, which you can verify independently on the CGC website before you buy. The holder is intact and has not been cracked, re-sealed or altered.
