Tom Cook Collection


Giant-Size X-Men #1 features the first appearance of Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, & Thunderbird as they join the X-Men lineup, and shook up the entire comics industry after hitting the racks in the summer of 1975. 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. (Future breakout star Wolverine had already appeared in the pages of Incredible Hulk, of course.)

Numerous X-titles would 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 emerging 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.
