The X-Men have had such an amazing history ever since their creation and debut in 1963. The idea of a new evolutionary group of humans with special powers has since captivated fans. There are so many iconic comics from the series but one major comic and one that is on many fans wishlists is Giant-Sized X-Men #1 and ComicConnect has a 9.6 grade up for auction that is set to end on May 22nd. This special issue was published by Marvel Comics in 1975 and was written by Len Wein and illustrated by Dave Cockrum. This story opened up so many doors and turned the X-Men world into what it is now. It bridged the gap between the old X-Men team and the new one. This comic shows off some of the biggest mutants in the Marvel world and were all revealed under this one title. This comic sits as the 1st appearance of X-Men greats Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, and Thunderbird. The issue even brought the hugely popular Wolverine onto the team and we know how popular he gets, and it all started here. Storm, Colossus, and Nightcrawler are all huge members of the X-Men world now and who knows where our favorite mutants would be without them.
