The debut of the new X-Men, with the first appearances of Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus and Thunderbird, in Near Mint/Mint 9.8.
Giant-Size X-Men #1, cover-dated Summer 1975, assembled a new, international X-Men team. Written by Len Wein and drawn by Dave Cockrum, it brought in Wolverine, in his second full appearance, as a member of the team.
The new lineup took over the regular X-Men title that August, and Storm, Nightcrawler and Colossus went on to appear in decades of comics, animation and film. The cover is by Gil Kane and Dave Cockrum.
In the story, the new team is assembled to rescue the original X-Men from Krakoa, the living island. The original X-Men, Cyclops, Marvel Girl, the Beast, the Angel and Iceman, were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and first appeared in X-Men #1, dated September 1963.
Two hundred and ninety examples have achieved Near Mint/Mint 9.8 at CGC, with one graded higher.
