Nice pick — that’s X-Men #1 (October 1991, Marvel Comics) with both Cyclops/Wolverine/Iceman cover

Description

Nice pick — that’s X-Men #1 (October 1991, Marvel Comics) with both the Cyclops/Wolverine/Iceman cover and the Colossus/Rogue/Gambit/Psylocke cover by the one and only Jim Lee — two pieces of one of the most iconic comic releases of all time. When combined with the other two connecting covers (Magneto and Beast/Jean Grey), they form the legendary 4-panel fold-out mural that helped this issue become the best-selling comic book in history.

Amos’s Tip

If you grew up in the ‘90s, this was the comic book that defined an era — bright costumes, bold poses, and Jim Lee at the absolute top of his game. This issue launched a new X-Men title with Chris Claremont’s storytelling brilliance meeting Lee’s dynamic, hyper-detailed art. Together, they created a book that sold millions — and still commands nostalgic respect today. Having both of these covers together? That’s collector gold.
