About the character
Nathan Summers — Cable — is a time-travelling soldier from a dystopian future who brought a harder, more militarised tone to the X-Men franchise. His first appearance in New Mutants #87 is a key copper age book.
What is a first appearance worth?
The New Mutants #87 has solid collector demand. A presentable raw copy in the UK typically attracts an offer in the low to mid three figures; high-grade or CGC-slabbed examples can push into four figures. Restored copies are worth less but still very much wanted — we buy across all grades and conditions.
