Steranko cover/art; 2nd app. Polaris; origin of Beast, New X-Men logo; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 7 (CBI)
This classic issue of the X-Men presents the origin story of the Beast, plus a classic tale of the teen mutants battling Magneto’s daughter, Lorna Dane — who's under the sway of the sinister Mesmero. There's also a new X-Men logo for the title, as introduced on a gorgeous classic cover from legendary comics artist Jim Steranko.
As seen here, Steranko hit the comics scene with a visionary approach to the comic form. He remains a beloved counterculture figure for bringing elements of surrealism and pop art to mainstream comics, with an dynamic talent that had a major effect on the look and feel of the Silver Age and beyond.
Investors can count on a bright future for the X-Men, as well. Fans have been thrilled to see Marvel Studios retrieving the film rights to their beloved characters, with Deadpool & Wolverine breaking out as one of the biggest box-office hits of 2024. To this day, the mutant team and their spin-offs remain amongst Marvel's best-selling books.
