This copy of X-Men #12 earned an astounding 9.4 CGC Universal Grade with off-white to white pages. Only a dozen CGC copies exist in a higher grade than this. The iconic yellow and blue X-Men outfits pop against the red background of this classic Kirby cover. This issue introduces the world to the Juggernaut, Cain Marko, as well as reveals the origin of Professor X. Only very minor stress is visible on this cover, making it seem almost as pristine as it did on newsstands nearly sixty years ago. The X-Men have been a perennial fan-favorite for decades and Juggernaut is one of their most iconic enemies. They've appeared together in endless comics, cartoons, movies, video games, and more. With the X-Men confirmed to be joining the MCU soon, all X-Men keys have been on the rise recently. Collectors and investors will be eagerly watching this book for years to come.
