A 1975 X-Men comic book fetched an impressive $170,000 at an auction. This marks the second-highest price ever paid for a 1970s comic edition.
Sources at ComicConnect recently finalized the purchase on “Giant-Size X-Men #1,” the only comic to ever score a near-perfect 9.9 from CGC (Pop Culture Collectibles Grading | Certified Guaranty.)
X-Men started out underground. It’s writers and sketch artists were very grass roots about it’s manifestation.
50 Years later it’s a commercial mainstream mega-billion dollar empire brand. Goes to show something that starts out as a passion and innovation can lead to greater mountain tops if the universe wills.
Huzzah and Hoorah to sir Stan Lee, creator of the whole she-bang. Gone but never-ever forgotten.
