American Update: Mighty Marvel Firsts: The Coming of the Juggernaut in X-Men #12
*Marvel: With Jolly Jack Kirby leaving the art chores of the X-Men after issue #11, Stan Lee realised he had to crank up the excitement to keep readers’ attention, and he certainly achieved it with this dynamic story introducing one of the X-Men’s most formidable opponents, the Juggernaut! Cain Marko, the hitherto unsuspected step-brother of the X-Men’s mentor Professor Xavier, dabbled with arcane forces and was transformed into the embodiment of an irresistible force! This copy of a major villain’s debut is Fair, with considerable spine wear, especially at the lower edge, and moderate right edge wear with small chips out of the cover edge not impeding the cover scene. Juggernaut’s re-entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with ‘Deadpool 2’ has once again piqued interest in this character.
