American Update: Early X-Men, including Mighty Marvel Firsts – Four of the first eleven with Debuts of Ka-Zar and the Stranger
*Marvel: We here at 30th Century consider the X-Men line-up of Storm, Wolverine, etc., having been around a mere 45 years, to be a bit ‘nouveau’, so we’re always happy to see more of what we old codgers call the ‘proper’ X-Men! This week, we add four early numbers to our lists; #5, #7, #10 and #11. The first two are cataclysmic clashes with our hero’s opposites, the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, with guest-villain the Blob along for the ride; issue #10 presents the debut of Ka-Zar, Lord of the Hidden Land, and his sabre-toothed chum Zabu and issue #11 saw the premier appearance of the cosmic entity known only as the Stranger. Illustrated are #10 VG- p £55 and #11 VG+ p £50. For details on the others – and all our other stock of Marvel’s Merry Mutants – check out our online listings.
