The Sentinels Stalk Among Us in X-Men #14, Up for Auction

Published Mon, 05 Dec 2022 06:47:11 -0600

X-Men fans are all about their debuts, and next to Magneto, I think the biggest one you can get is the first appearance of the Sentinels. In all my years in comics going to shows and running a store, I do not think I have ever see a copy of X-Men #14 in decent shape, and never in high grade. Kids must have eaten this story up when it first released in 1965. It has an amazing cover as well. A CGC 3.5 copy of the book is taking bids at Heritage Auctions today and is at a criminally low price of $289. You can check it out below.
