American Update: First X-Men Crossover in Tales of Suspense #49
*Marvel: In the early days of the Marvel Universe, the idea of characters crossing over and casually teaming up (or more likely having a misunderstanding and clobbering each other for ten or so pages) was a relative novelty, so it was an unexpected treat to see folks ‘break out’ of their own pages. Tales of Suspense #49 has a particular distinction among such team-ups, as the X-Men’s Angel appears in Iron Man’s feature and – amazingly – battles the Armoured Avenger to a standstill! A brief appearance by Warren’s classmates at the Xavier Academy makes this the first X-Men crossover in the MU — and drawn by Steve Ditko to boot! This is a GD p copy on sale at £60. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
