RARE AND OUT OF PRINT! THE FIRST ISSUE OF THE REVOLUTIONARY COMIC BOOK SERIES STARRING MARVEL'S MIGHTY MUTANT SUPERHEROES!
In 1991, Marvel launched a “mutant genesis,” completely transforming its many mutant super-hero groups. The New Mutants would become X-Force, And the Uncanny X-Men would split into two teams, each featured in its own title.
This X-Men series stars the new team consisting of Cyclops, Wolverine, Gambit, Psylocke, Rogue, and the Beast. Although the other X-Men still appear regularly, Marvel’s idea was to concentrate this title on a smaller team in order to better craft the storylines. With early issues drawn and plotted by the legendary Jim Lee, this series makes that idea come alive.
Issue #1 of this “adjectiveless” X-Men title was launched in a storm of publicity and sported five different covers. Taken together, it sold in excess of seven million copies, making it the best-selling comic of all time.
This is a SPECIAL EDITION of the first issue with a special double Gate-fold cover!! Full Color lavish art on high quality glossy paper stock!
Fold-out cover. 48-page giant. Magneto guest stars in "Rubicon." Script by Chris Claremont, pencils by Jim Lee, inks by Scott Williams. Nick Fury cameo. 2-page pin-up: gallery of X-Men villains. Lee/Williams cover.
