About the character
Professor Xavier's team of mutant heroes debuted in 1963. Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Iceman and Angel were the originals — and the franchise went on to become the most important comics property of the 1980s and 1990s.
What is a first appearance worth?
The X-Men #1 is a genuinely valuable comic. Raw copies in low-to-mid grade typically trade in the hundreds; nicer, unrestored copies in the UK market often reach low to mid four figures, and CGC-certified high-grade examples can go significantly higher. Condition details — cover gloss, spine roll, page tanning — make a big difference. We are happy to assess any grade.
Exact figures depend on grade and condition. See the full The X-Men #1 valuation guide →
