Make a bold move to score this 9/63 Marvel The X-Men #1 issue. One of the most important comic books of the 1960s, this whale of an inaugural issue ranks high up on the Top 50 Silver Age Comic Books list. Making their first appearances in this high demand comic are the original mutant team members Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Iceman, Angel, and their teacher/mentor, Professor X. Also making his first appearance is anti-hero Magneto, who is the team's main adversary. CGC has just returned this big-ticket comic with a decent grade of (2.5, Off-White Pages). If Stan Lee had brought in a crystal ball, a psychic, and the most powerful computer of the day, none could have predicted the great success the X-Men would enjoy over the next 60 years after this debut issue was published. Throughout the many years, the first X-Men series has spawned a vast array of sequels and spin-offs, starring an endless stream of additional heroes and villains, and this is the historic issue that got the big ball rolling. CGC's label notes are "Stan Lee story, Jack Kirby cover and art. Origin and 1st appearance of the X-Men (Professor X, Cyclops, Iceman, Angel, Beast and Marvel Girl) and Magneto."

Opening Bid $2,000.
