The first issue of the new X-Men in their regular series and the start of Chris Claremont's long run, in Near Mint/Mint 9.8.
From 1970 the X-Men title had been reprinting earlier stories. With #94, dated August 1975, the new team introduced in Giant-Size X-Men #1 (Lot 20) took over the regular series, and the X-Men returned to new stories.
Written by Len Wein and Chris Claremont, with art by Dave Cockrum and Bob McLeod and a cover by Gil Kane and Dave Cockrum, the issue marks the second appearance of Nightcrawler, Storm, Thunderbird and Colossus, and sees Sunfire leave the team. During Claremont's run the X-Men grew into one of Marvel's most popular series.
In this issue Marvel Girl, Iceman, Angel, Havok and Polaris leave the team, and Cyclops, the last of the original members, stays on to lead the new recruits.
Fifty-seven examples have achieved Near Mint/Mint 9.8 at CGC, and none have been graded higher.
