American Update: The Good Doctor Collection: Mighty Marvel Firsts: X-Men #4, with the Debuts of Quicksilver, the Scarlet Witch, Mastermind and the Toad
*Marvel: We lead off this week’s selection from the Good Doctor Collection with the debut of Magneto’s Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, thus 1st appearances of Quicksilver, the Scarlet Witch, Mastermind and the Toad in the fourth issue of the X-Men from 1964. It’s a great pity that no one told Wanda that the clue to her costume colour was in her name, and thus she posed in a fetching shade of Emerald for the cover. Another Lee/Kirby classic and the first appearances of Wanda and Pietro, who were destined to become cornerstones of the Marvel universe. This is a decent towards mid-grade pence printed copy with relatively minor edge and handling wear (tiny chip out lower right cover). Good cover colour and a scene unspoilt apart from a faint book shop stamp in an unobtrusive part of the cover below the issue number. Staples are firmly attached at spine and centrefold. Pages are a nice, supple off-white. High resolution images are available on request.
