Encapsulated and graded 9.6 with “White Pages” by CGC. There was a time when Marvel had nearly given up on the X-Men, but they came roaring back in a big way in “Giant-Size X-Men” #1, published in 1975, with a story that had Professor X send Cyclops with a whole new team to rescue his original teammates. The result was the first appearance of names every comic book fan knows today: Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, and Thunderbird, all joined by Wolverine. Not surprisingly, this issue has been a mainstay for collectors over the years, as the “X-Men” have grown in popularity. Their introduction into the Marvel Cinematic Universe will only increase the value of “X-Men” comics in the future. This presented copy is signed across the cover by creator Stan Lee. According to CGC’s census report, of the 794 Signature Series comics, only 10 have achieved a higher grade, making this copy all the more desirable. A graded copy of “Giant-Size X-Men” #1 in Near Mint+ condition is sure to appeal to collectors of the franchise.
