What is X-Men #1 CGC 9.4?

This is the first ever issue of the X-Men comic book series. Grade 9.4 is the highest to ever be sold; there are four 9.6 and two 9.8 copies, but they’ve never been available on the open market.

It IPOs on Rally 19th March

Cultural Relevance

The first issue of X-Men includes the first appearance of many well-known heroes:

  • Cyclops
  • Beast
  • Angel
  • Marvel Girl
  • Iceman
  • Magneto
  • Professor X

It was written and edited by the legendary Stan Lee, and Jack Kirby penciled it.

The X-Men franchise is one of the most successful of all time having grossed more than $6B worldwide from the films alone. They’ve featured comics, cartoons, video games, films, and on and on.

They’ve been busy.

X-Men #1 CGC 9.4

Up until the forgettable Dark Phoenix and The New Mutants films, each of the five prior films grossed over a half billion dollars worldwide with Deadpool pulling in the 46th most money domestically of any film ever.

There are no further X-Men films planned.
