About the X-Men 1991 #1 Facsimile Edition Gatefold

Another chance to buy the best-selling comic book of all time — one that ushered in a new era of X-Men greatness! In 1991, history was made when superstar creators Chris Claremont and Jim Lee launched a second ongoing title for Marvel’s premier mutant super-group — and the inaugural issue featured an all-star lineup, separated into Cyclops’ Blue team and Storm’s Gold team, for an action-packed showdown against their archenemy, Magneto, and his fanatical Acolytes! Featuring fan-favorite characters looking better than ever in bold new costumes that helped define a decade, it’s no wonder the “adjectiveless” X-MEN #1 sold an incredible eight million copies! It’s one of the all-time great Marvel comic books, boldly re-presented in its original deluxe-edition form, packed with pinups and an iconic wraparound cover! Reprinting X-MEN (1991) #1.
