*Marvel: In the distant days of 1975, the X-Men, once mainstays of the Marvel Universe, were a spent force. Reduced to a bi-monthly reprint comic and occasional guest-appearances, the merry mutants were without a home to call their own. Then two of Marvel’s young turks of the time, Len Wein and Dave Cockrum, changed all that. In Giant-Size X-Men #1, the original X-Men were captured, and Professor X assembled a team of international mutants, some known to the readers (Sunfire, Banshee, and Wein’s own creation, Wolverine, who had made his debut in Hulk #181) and some brand new (Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler and Thunderbird), and sent them out to rescue their mutant brethren. The ‘New’ X-Men were an instant hit: the team was restored to all-new adventures, and on their way to becoming the multi-media stars they are today! We are delighted to have the first appearance of the ‘New’ X-Men back in stock – the Giant-Size issues never being distributed in the UK, GSXM #1’s already cult collector status is exacerbated by its scarcity on this side of the pond. Our newest GSXM #1 is an exceptional VF+; cover tight and correctly aligned (these squarebounds tend to slip sometimes in the gluing process, resulting in offcuts and crooked alignments.) The condition of the spine is generally excellent, with minimal wear at lower and upper ends. Interior pages clean and bright, white cover background unmarred, no creases, pressure marks or discolouration. VF+, on sale at £1,350. Front & back covers and splash page shown here; high resolution scans are available on request. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
