PRE-ORDER. Famous First Edition: First printing of 5,000 numbered copies. Grab a front row seat to the creation of "The Strangest Super-Heroes of All!” In this colossal collector’s dream, the first 21 X-Men stories from 1963–1966 have been meticulously reproduced from the most pristine copies of these rare comic books— the fourth volume from TASCHEN’s Eisner Award-winning Marvel Comics Library series.
Close in size to the original artworks, this XXL-sized edition features the first 21 stories of our favorite oddball super heroes from 1963–1966. The most pristine pedigreed comics have been cracked open and photographed for reproduction in close collaboration with Marvel and the Certified Guaranty Company. Each page has been photographed as printed more than half a century ago, then digitally remastered using modern retouching techniques to correct problems with the era’s inexpensive, imperfect printing—as if hot off of a world-class 1960s printing press. A custom paper stock was exclusively developed for this series to simulate the feel of the original comics.
In addition to these seminal tales are an original foreword by modern X-Men mastermind Chris Claremont, reliving the heyday of Lee and Kirby’s foundational years, and an in-depth essay by X-Men writer Fabian Nicieza alongside original art, photographs, and memorabilia from the early years of X.
Hardcover, 28 x 39.5 cm, 4.67 kg, 666 pages. We are proud to be one of the UK's leading TASCHEN suppliers.
