Jack Kirby cvr/art; 1st meeting of X-Men and Avengers; 1st app of Lucifer; Marvel Girl pin-up


X-Men #9 is a fan favorite for bringing together the Avengers and the X-Men, with Jack Kirby's classic cover cramming in an amazing amount of action. The Avengers arrive in Europe after Thor detects strange emissions from a bomb rigged by Professor X's old foe Lucifer (making his first appearance). Professor X has also summoned the X-Men, which leads to the usual initial battle between the heroes before Professor X intervenes. After this vital first meeting, of course, the Avengers would often recruit mutants into the team. That's enough important comics history right there, although fans also often track down this book for Jack Kirby's famous Marvel Masterwork Pin-Up of Marvel Girl.
