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.

Giant-Size X-Men marked a seismic shift in comics, reinvigorating a failed title into a household name and pop-culture sensation. This copy earned a fantastic 9.8 Universal Grade from CGC, with off-white to white pages. The clean white pages are the perfect complement to the classic cover, whose background is immaculate, which highlights the sharp logos and cover copy, as well as the iconic Gil Kane/Dave Cockrum renditions of both the new and old X-Men. The first appearances of Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, and Thunderbird, have never looked better than they do here. All X-Men keys have been selling like hotcakes recently, with confirmation that the X-Men will be joining the MCU soon. These characters have already appeared in countless movies, cartoons, and video games, and will only become even more popular once they're part of the highest-grossing movie franchise of all time.
Overstreet Guide 2021 NM- (9.2) value = $5,000.
