Why this issue matters

First appearance of Cole - the earliest non-flashback appearance on record for this character. An independent public reference points at X-Men #133 instead - the dispute is on file, not hidden.

Before you buy

  • Confirm which printing is being sold; later printings usually carry changed cover marks or indicia lines.
  • For variant covers, match the listing photo against the variant list on this page before paying a ratio-variant price.
  • Pressable defects (spine stress, corner blunting) matter to graders; ask for photos at an angle.
