American Update: Mighty Marvel Firsts: Debut of Sentinels in X-Men #14
*Marvel: The implacable robotic Sentinels, nemeses of the X-Men, have loomed large in the history of Marvel’s Mutant Heroes, making multiple appearances, each more fearsome than the last. The creations of a man determined to expunge the mutant genome from humanity, they emphasise the X-Men’s ‘otherness’, which is why they resonate so strongly with the readership – and in a world where fascism seems sadly to be coming back into fashion, they’re more relevant than ever! This is the first appearance of the Sentinels, a decent mid-grade pence printed copy with a nice clean cover image, firmly attached staples and nice page quality. There is just a tiny hint of spine roll at the top and three small colour-breaking creases across the top of the masthead; minimal edge wear and corner blunting; a little tanning to inside covers.
