Owner's Description
issue #1 is one of the significant Silver Age Keys. Introduced the same month as Avengers #1, they gave the comic public (translation, all us geeks) two new super-groups to follow in the Marvel Universe. Issue #1 not only introduces Charles Xavier, Professor X, Cyclops (Scott Summers), Iceman (Bobby Drake), Beast (Hank McCoy), Angel (Warren Worthington III) and Marvel Girl, Jane Grey, it also introduces the Doctor Doom of the X-Men, Magneto, whose origins are more interesting than any of the good guys.
Obviously, all of these characters have been introduced multiple times to the movie goers who never read the books. Significantly, Professor X has been played by Patrick Stewart and James McAvoy, while Magneto has been played by Ian McKellen and Michael Fassbender.
There are 67 books in the census graded higher than our current copy, which we bought with a package of books from High Grade Comics back in the early 2000s for $5,800. If I just knew then what I know now LOL. We hope to upgrade it in the not too distant future, but how high we will go remains to be seen.
