Illustrated throughout, The Penguin Classics Marvel Collection presents specially curated cartoon anthologies of the world’s greatest superheroes

The seeds of a pop-cultural phenomenon were sown with the launch of the first X-Men comic in 1963, at the height of ‘the Marvel Revolution’, under the creative team of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. This volume includes the first issue, which established a creative formula that continues to inspire contemporary creators, as well as later editions still acclaimed for the ground-breaking artwork of Neal Adams.

A foreword by Rainbow Rowell and a comprehensive introduction and notes by Ben Saunders offer further insight into the enduring significance of the X-Men and classic Marvel comics. This Deluxe Hardcover edition features gold foil stamping, gold top stain edges, special endpapers with artwork spotlighting series villains, and full-colour art throughout.
