In late 1991, bolstered by the popularity of UNCANNY X-MEN’s all-star creative team of Chris Claremont and Jim Lee, Marvel launched a second monthly mutant title: X-MEN! Now, twenty years later, the double-sized inaugural issue of that run is remastered, reimagined and recolored in modern style — gatefold cover and all — by colorist Thomas Mason! The X-Men’s all-new Blue and Gold teams have never looked more heroic, Magneto and his Acolytes have never seemed so dangerous, and Jim Lee’s kinetic action sequences practically leap off the page! Revisit a seminal moment in mutant history — like you’ve never seen it before!



X-Men #1: 20th Anniversary Edition
Written by CHRIS CLAREMONT
Pencils & Cover Art by JIM LEE

the original comic had 8.5 million print run,makes the justice league 1 200,000 print run look unimpressive.

I have the one that folds out to show all the covers, the Cyc and Wolvie one, and one with Mags on the cover. So 3 in all.

Dmon-I've got the fold out one too. I was 5 when it came out. I don't even know how I ended up with this comic but its a good one.

Maybe the Old colorist should be slapped in the face. That is a joke, but the way they used to color and the way they do now are very different. It will make it look way better.
