X-Men #4

Features the second appearance of Marvel's greatest villain (okay, along with Doctor Doom and Doctor Octopus), Magneto, with the first ever sightings of Quicksilver, the Scarlet Witch, the Toad and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Offered here is the fifth ever appearance of the X-Men (two months after both X-Men #3 and Tales of Suspense #49), cover dated March, 1964, and it constitutes the third most expensive X-Men comic book ever (think X-Men #1 and #2). What separates this unread and untouched freak of time from the other copies is its NM/M grade, the highest grade (and only 9.8) ever given an X-Men #4. In fact, there is similarly only one copy in the 9.6 grade, making it one of the toughest issues of the entire run to find above 9.4. This smoker of a comic book defies any possible description and is what it is because it was part of the meticulous storage methods of the original owner, whose museum quality collection deservedly earned the pedigree status and name "Curator". RIDICULOUSLY glossy and fresh with immaculate WHITE pages and perfect structure. Sports a phenomenal Jack Kirby/Paul Reinman cover. Early Marvel magic at its peak and yours for only 12 cents (45 yars ago, that is)!
